About Our Jewelry
What is 18K gold-filled jewelry?
18K gold-filled jewelry is made with a thick, durable layer of real 18K gold bonded to a quality base metal core. Unlike gold-plated pieces, gold-filled jewelry has a much thicker layer of real gold, designed to resist tarnishing, maintain its shine, and last for years with proper care.
How is gold-filled different from gold-plated?
Gold-plated jewelry has a very thin coating of gold that typically wears off within months. Gold-filled jewelry carries a significantly thicker layer of real gold compared to gold-plated alternatives — bonded to the base, built to last longer, resist tarnishing, and keep its brilliance through everyday wear.
Why does Skillus use 18K gold?
18K gold has a richer, warmer color and a finer finish than the more common 14K. It's the same standard used by Italian luxury jewelers — and we believe your jewelry deserves it.
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 still look brand new. With basic care, your piece is built to stay beautiful for the long run.
Will it tarnish or turn my skin green?
Skillus jewelry is made to resist tarnishing and designed for comfortable everyday wear. Because our pieces are gold-filled and hypoallergenic, they are not expected to leave green marks under normal use. In rare cases, individual skin chemistry may vary, but our jewelry is made to handle daily wear, sweat, and water with ease.
Is Skillus jewelry safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Every piece is hypoallergenic and completely free of nickel, lead, and cadmium — safe for sensitive skin.
Is your jewelry waterproof?
Yes. Skillus jewelry is water-resistant and designed to handle showers, sweat, and swimming. For maximum longevity, simply rinse with fresh water after exposure to chlorine or saltwater.
Where is Skillus jewelry made?
Each piece is handcrafted in Brazil by skilled artisans, with over 40 years of jewelry-making heritage behind every design. We know what lasts — because we've been crafting it for decades.
Care
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
- Avoid applying perfumes, lotions, or harsh chemicals directly on the piece
- Store in its original pouch or box, away from other jewelry to help prevent scratches
