Our gold bonded collection uses 18 carat gold. Solid 18ct is 75% pure meaning you’ll have to break the bank for something of this quality. On the other hand, solid 18ct doesn’t tarnish, can be polished, will last a long time, and will hold its value over years. Bonded gold usually lasts for up to two years. The gold coating can wear over time exposing the base metal and will often loose its shine and fade over time. The low price of bonded gold however means that you can get new pieces regularly and stay on – trend.
