Why We Use Solid Gold Only – No Plating, No Fading
At Stirling & Co, we believe jewelry should last — not just for a season, but for generations. That’s why we only craft with solid gold, never plated or filled.
Because when something represents love, meaning, or memory… it deserves more than a temporary shine.
What Is Solid Gold — And Why Does It Matter?
Solid gold means your piece is made entirely of gold alloy throughout — not just a surface layer. Whether it’s 10K or 14K, our jewelry contains gold through and through.
Unlike gold-plated or gold-filled pieces, solid gold won’t tarnish, wear away, or leave green marks on your skin. It’s a timeless metal that keeps its color, value, and strength for years to come.
Why We Never Use Gold Plating
Gold plating may offer a temporary shine, but that shimmer doesn’t last. Plated jewelry is made by coating a base metal (often brass or copper) with a thin layer of gold — and over time, that layer fades, rubs off, or chips away.
At Stirling & Co, we don’t believe in shortcuts. We believe in craftsmanship and quality you can feel — today, tomorrow, and years from now.
