When shopping for jewelry, the type of metal matters just as much as the design. At Peace of Stone Handmade- PSH Jewelry, we choose metals that are beautiful, long-lasting, and safe for sensitive skin.

Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is made from 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper). It has a bright, timeless shine that pairs well with any crystal. It’s also hypoallergenic, making it a gentle choice for everyday wear.

Gold-Filled (Rose Gold & Yellow Gold)
Gold-filled jewelry is made by bonding a thick layer of real gold to a base metal. Unlike gold-plated jewelry, which can rub off quickly, gold-filled jewelry has up to 100x more gold content. That means it’s long-lasting, tarnish-resistant, and safe for sensitive skin.

  • Yellow Gold-Filled: Warm and classic, it never goes out of style.

  • Rose Gold-Filled: Soft pink tones that feel romantic and modern.

Gold-Plated vs. Solid Gold

  • Gold-Plated: A very thin layer of gold that wears away over time. Not the best for everyday wear.

  • Solid Gold: Pure gold through and through, but also very expensive.

Our choice? Sterling silver and gold-filled. These give you the beauty of fine jewelry without the high price tag, and they’re safe for sensitive skin. Perfect for everyday wear that feels special.
