Distinguishing Genuine Custom Jewelry from Imitations

In the vast world of jewelry, not all that glitters is gold. With a variety of terms like 'gold-plated', 'vermeil', and 'gold fill' circulating in the market, it's easy to be misled. At The Jeweler Philly, our commitment lies in providing authentic precious metals and gemstones, ensuring lasting elegance and value. Let's delve deeper into what sets real custom jewelry apart from its less authentic counterparts.

The Authenticity of Real Custom Jewelry

Solid Gold vs. Gold-Plated: Beyond Surface-Level Beauty

While gold-plated jewelry offers an attractive outer layer, beneath lies a different story. It consists of a thin layer of gold over a base metal and tends to tarnish or wear off over time. In contrast, our jewelry pieces are made of solid gold, ensuring a brilliance that never fades.

The Radiance of Genuine Gemstones

When you choose our custom pieces, you embrace the unmatched glow of genuine diamonds, each meticulously selected and set to complement the beauty of its golden backdrop.

Deciphering the Alternatives

‍

Gold-Plated:

An affordable option, it involves electroplating a thin layer of gold onto a base metal. Its luster, however, is short-lived and can tarnish with time and wear.

Vermeil:

A combination of sterling silver coated with gold. Though more durable than gold-plated items, it still falls short of the lasting beauty of solid gold.

Gold Fill:

This involves bonding a thicker layer of gold to a base metal. While more enduring than gold-plated and vermeil, it still isn't equivalent to the quality of solid gold.

Benefits of Investing in Real Custom Jewelry

1. Lasting Brilliance: Genuine custom jewelry remains timeless, both in its design and its material resilience.
2. Intrinsic Value: True precious metals and gemstones often retain, if not appreciate, in value over the years.
3. Hypoallergenic Properties: Authentic gold and silver, being pure, are often better suited for those with sensitive skin, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.

Conclusion

Choosing genuine custom jewelry is a testament to one's appreciation for authenticity and timeless beauty. At The Jeweler Philly, we are dedicated to offering pieces that not only catch the eye today but also remain cherished treasures for future generations.
