The Italian Standard

The Italian Standard: Why 18k Gold is the Global Benchmark

In the world of fine jewelry, the "Made in Italy" hallmark is more than a point of origin—it is a rigorous technical standard. Italian workshops are world-renowned for their precision engineering, where advanced technology and expert finishing come together to create gold chains with unmatched fluidity and strength.

18k Purity vs. The Status Quo

While much of the North American market relies on 14k gold (which contains only 58.3% pure gold), the Italian tradition has always favored 18k solid gold.

• The Color: 18k gold possesses a deep, rich luster that 14k cannot replicate.

• The Density: Because it contains 75% pure gold, 18k jewelry has a distinct "visual weight" and a heavier, more luxurious drape on the skin.

• The Integrity: Higher purity means the metal is naturally tarnish-free and hypoallergenic, making it a permanent addition to your collection.
