When it comes to jewellery, not all metals are created equal! If you've ever wondered which hooks options is the best, this one's for you.
Let’s break down the differences between our hooks: gold plated, gold-filled, silver-filled, and titanium so you can pick the perfect match for your style, budget, and skin.
Gold Plated: The Budget-Friendly Glow-Up
- A base metal (usually brass or copper) with a thin layer of gold on top.
- Super affordable, but the gold layer can wear off over time.
-
Our gold-plated hooks are top-notch, way more durable and tarnish resistant than standard plating (I’ve had mine for four years, and they still look fab!).
Gold-Filled: The Long-Lasting Luxe
- A thick layer of 14kt gold is pressure bonded to a base metal, so it’s not just a thin coating.
- At least 5% solid gold by weight, making it way more durable than gold-plated.
- Hypoallergenic and tarnish resistant, perfect for sensitive ears.
Silver-Filled: Sterling Silver’s Tougher Cousin
- Like gold-filled, but with sterling silver instead of gold.
- A thick layer of sterling silver is bonded to a base metal, so it lasts way longer than silver plated.
- More durable and resistant to tarnish, giving you that bright silver shine for longer.
Titanium: The Tough, Hypoallergenic Hero
- Incredibly strong, lightweight, and naturally hypoallergenic.
- Perfect for those with metal allergies or super sensitive skin.
-
Doesn’t tarnish, corrode, or react with your skin... EVER!
