All of our products are made of the highest grade SOLID metals.  This means our Sterling Silver, 14K gold, and 316L Stainless steel products are all made of the purest metals available in the world.  We DO NOT plate or coat our precious metals. They are all 100% hypoallergenic (see hypoallergenic above for more info) and have no other metal coatings or platings (eg. Rhodium, Fine Silver) what so ever. ANY ITEM THAT IS COATED OR PLATED IS LOW QUALITY JEWELRY.   Please see 'Plating and coating' below for more detailed information.
