Crescent Moon Studs

Gold Filled is a high-quality alternative to solid gold, featuring a thick layer of real 14k gold mechanically bonded to a base metal, usually brass. This bonding process, typically using heat and pressure, results in a durable layer that won't peel or flake easily, unlike gold plating.

The 14 Karat means 1/20 (5%) of the item weight is real 14K gold (By law, Gold Filled must contain at least 5% gold by total weight.

By comparison, gold plating is estimated to be 0.05% or less of the metal product and it wears off.  In Gold Filled the gold layer is up to 100 times thicker than gold plated jewellery or gold vermeil plated jewellery.

14K Gold Filled is the no.1 most affordable, long lasting alternative to expensive solid 9K, 14K, 18K solid gold without compromising on appearance.

Gold Vermeil is a thicker layer of real gold over sterling silver. It wears off eventually and the silver will start to show through. This is why the gold seems to "fade". Gold Vermeil is hypoallergenic because the sterling silver base metal is hypoallergenic.

Gold Plated is a thin layer of real gold over a cheap metal. It wears off quickly and will leave your skin green and cause allergies if you have metal allergies.

INSTRUCTIONS TO FIND YOUR RING SIZE

1. Find the inner diameter - Take a ring that fits on the finger you are buying for and measure the inner diameter. Every millimeter counts, so be strict. If you don't have a ring use a piece of string around your finger to find your inner circumference. Do this step more than once to check you keep getting the same result. 

2. Check the chart below - Now that you know your inner diameter or circumference, use the chart below to find your size. If you fall in between sizes, go up a size, e.g. You are a 7 1/2, then you can buy a size 8. It's better your ring is a little looser than tighter.
