SOLID GOLD
Solid Gold is a type of gold that contains more that 41.7% of pure gold. Gold purity is defined by its karatage/carat and ranges from 9K to 24K. Bravais Crystal use 18K solid gold to ensure your jewelry is still able to be durable and long-lasting. All of our Solid Gold jewelry pieces are made bespoke in our ethical factories in Shanghai, China.
Solid Gold does not tarnish over time when taken care of properly. Any signs of tarnish can usually be cleaned away to reveal your original solid gold jewlery shine. However, whilst solid gold is naturally extremely durable, it is best to avoid exposing your ring to harsh chemicals that may damage your rings surface layer. Solid Gold is also quite a malleable material, so it advised to store your solid gold rings separately from other jewelry pieces.
CARE GUIDE:
