The Pieces

What are Guild 1947 pieces made of?

Every piece is crafted in 18kt rich gold plating over 925 sterling silver, set with gemstones. Our rich gold plating is a 10x thicker layer of gold than standard flash plating, giving each piece the warmth of solid gold at a fraction of the price.

Will my jewellery tarnish?

With care, no. Sterling silver can tarnish over time when exposed to moisture, perfume, or chemicals- but rich gold plating layer protects the silver underneath. Store your pieces in their pouch when not worn, and follow the guidance on our Care page.

Is the jewellery safe for sensitive skin?

Sterling silver is hypoallergenic and safe for most skin types. If you have known allergies to silver or any specific metal, please email us before ordering and we'll guide you.
