MATERIALS
14K GOLD-FILLED
Why We Use Gold-filled
Most jewelry you see on the market today is Gold plated or dipped and becomes dull, tarnished, and quickly wears down with everyday wear. At Salty Jewels, we want your jewelry to last years, which is why we use Gold Filled for our Shell rings.
Gold Filled is the best alternative to fine Gold, at a fraction of the cost.
Simply put, it is a thick layer of a Gold exterior “filled” with another metal, like brass or copper. It's layer of Gold is 100x thicker than Gold Plated, Gold Dipped, or Vermeil. It has a stronger bond to its core, being fused together, making it incredibly durable with the ability to last decades. Because the Gold layer is so thick, Gold Filled jewelry is hypoallergenic for most people. If you can wear 14k Gold without a reaction, you'll have no problem with 14k Gold Filled.
STAINLESS STEEL
Why We Use Stainless Steel
We believe jewelry should be as strong and enduring as the memories you create while wearing it. That’s why we choose stainless steel for all necklaces, bracelets, anklets and belly chains designed at Salty Jewels.
​
Stainless steel is a fantastic material for jewelry because it’s waterproof, tarnish-resistant, and durable enough to stand up to everyday wear. It doesn’t rust or lose its shine, even when exposed to saltwater or humidity, making it perfect for ocean-inspired pieces.
It is also hypoallergenic, so it’s safe for sensitive skin.
With stainless steel, you get jewelry that’s not only beautiful but also low-maintenance and made to last—ready to accompany you on every adventure.
