Gold Purity Standards

Understanding Gold Karats

We offer jewelry in various gold purities, each clearly marked:

How We Verify Gold Purity

• Hallmark Verification: All gold pieces bear proper karat stamps

Gemstone & Material Verification

Precious Stones

Handcrafted vs. Machine-Made

We clearly distinguish between:
