Skillus 18K Gold Filled Fine Jewelry

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our 18K gold-filled jewelry —
crafted in Brazil, designed to last.

What is 18K gold-filled jewelry?

18K gold-filled jewelry is crafted with layers of 18K gold bonded to a quality base metal core. Unlike gold-plated pieces, gold-filled jewelry contains significantly more gold, making it more durable and well suited for everyday wear.

How is 18K gold-filled different from gold-plated or gold vermeil?

Gold-plated jewelry has a thin layer of gold applied over a base metal.

Gold vermeil is made with a sterling silver base coated in gold, combining a precious-metal base with the look and finish of gold.

Gold-filled jewelry is crafted with layers of gold bonded to a quality base metal core, offering greater durability and making it especially well suited for everyday wear.

Why does Skillus use 18K gold?

We choose 18K gold for its purity, quality, and refined finish. It offers the distinctive color and luxurious look we want in every Skillus piece — the same standard trusted by fine jewelry makers around the world.

How long will my Skillus jewelry last?

Years of daily wear. Many of our customers wear their Skillus pieces every single day — in the shower, at the gym, at the beach — and they continue to look beautiful. With basic care, your piece is made to stay beautiful for the long run.

Will Skillus jewelry tarnish?

Skillus jewelry is tarnish-resistant and made for everyday wear. Our gold-filled pieces are crafted with layers of 18K gold bonded to the base, helping them maintain their color and shine over time. They are designed to handle daily wear, sweat, and everyday water exposure.

Is Skillus jewelry safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Our jewelry is hypoallergenic and free of nickel, lead, and cadmium — designed for comfortable everyday wear.

How do I care for my Skillus jewelry?

Caring for your jewelry is simple:

  • Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wear
  • Rinse with fresh water after pool, ocean, or heavy sweat exposure
