The Olivier Standard
Every piece of Olivier jewelry is 18K solid gold, handcrafted in Italy, and honestly priced. Here's exactly what that means — and why it matters.
The Gold
We use 18K solid gold exclusively — 75% pure gold, 25% alloyed metals. Our pieces carry the 750 hallmark, the international standard for 18K purity recognized in every country in the world.
Most jewelry brands in North America use 14K gold (58.3% pure) or gold-plated alternatives. We chose 18K because it's the standard used by luxury houses like Cartier and Bulgari — the difference is visible in the deeper, warmer gold color, and in how the piece feels on your skin. 18K is naturally hypoallergenic, tarnish-free, and waterproof.
Our gold is recycled and ethically sourced. Our diamonds are natural, conflict-free, and comply with the Kimberley Process (G-H color, VS-SI1 clarity).
The Craft
Every Olivier piece is made in Italy by professional goldsmiths. Not assembled, not finished — crafted from start to finish in Italian workshops with centuries of goldsmithing tradition.
Our manufacturers hold Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) certification, which means they adhere to the highest standards in ethical sourcing, fair labor, and environmental stewardship. We chose our partners not just for their craft, but for how they do business.
Every design is guided by longevity. Our jewelry is intended to transcend generations — there is no greater honor than the moment a piece of Olivier jewelry is passed down, from an investment today to a family treasure tomorrow.
The Physical Asset
We are challenging the outdated model of the jewelry industry, where 18K gold is hidden behind extreme premiums or a lack of transparency. Gold is a physical asset with intrinsic value — and we believe you deserve to know exactly what you're paying for.
We list the average gold weight on every product page. You can check the current price of gold, do the math, and see exactly what your piece is worth in gold alone — the rest is Italian craftsmanship. No brand-name markup. No inflated "compare at" pricing. We empower you to shop with the confidence of a collector, not just a consumer.
Unlike plated or vermeil jewelry — which has no resale value — your Olivier piece can always be appraised based on its gold weight. It's jewelry you wear every day that also happens to be a real asset.
The Olivier Relationship
Our goal is to foster trust and build lifelong relationships. We don't just want to sell you a piece of jewelry — we want to be part of your life's most meaningful milestones. Weddings, anniversaries, new arrivals, and the quiet everyday moments in between.

What's the difference between 18K and 14K gold? 18K gold contains 75% pure gold (750 hallmark), while 14K contains 58.3% (585 hallmark). The difference is visible — 18K has a deeper, warmer gold color. It's also more hypoallergenic due to its higher gold content. Most jewelry sold in North America is 14K, while 18K is the standard across Europe and the Mediterranean.
Is 18K gold a good investment? 18K solid gold holds real, intrinsic value based on its gold weight. Unlike plated or vermeil jewelry, which has no resale value, solid gold can always be appraised and sold based on the current gold market price. It's jewelry you wear every day that also happens to be worth something. Read more here.
Are your pieces suitable for sensitive skin Yes, they are! 18k solid gold is hypoallergenic and ideal for even the most sensitive skin types. Read more here.
Do you offer authenticity certificate? We do! All our pieces come with a certificate authenticating 18k solid gold.
How do I best care for my Olivier pieces? 18k solid gold will last forever. If your jewelry gets dirty, we recommend gently cleaning your piece with a soft cloth and mild soap.
Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and excessive moisture. Store them in a jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratching and tangling.
Can I wear my Olivier jewelry every day? Ab-so-lute-ly! Our pieces are designed to withstand daily wear. However, to preserve the beauty of your jewelry, we recommend removing it before engaging in activities that may expose it to excessive stress or chemicals.
Is 18K gold waterproof? Yes. 18K solid gold is naturally resistant to water, tarnish, and corrosion. You can shower, swim, and exercise in it without any effect on the metal. This is not true of gold-plated, vermeil, or gold-filled jewelry, which will degrade with water exposure.
Will my 18K gold jewelry tarnish? No. 18K solid gold does not tarnish. The 75% gold content makes it naturally resistant to oxidation and discoloration. Your pieces will look the same in 10 years as they do today.
