Description
Sterling Silver And Filled Yellow Gold Iolite Ring.
Size M.
Iolite is a dark purpley blue colour. The camera does not do this stone justice.
What is gold filled- Gold-filled jewellery is jewellery composed of a solid layer of gold (typically constituting at least 5% of the item’s total weight) mechanically bonded to a base of either sterling silver or some base metal. This isn’t like plating. Plating is only a thin layer of gold, whereas with gold filled, it is a thick layer, and will not wear off.
The silver in my pieces come under the exemption weight, which is less than 7.78g, so therefore, they don’t require a hallmark. Anything over 7.78g, requires a hallmark by law.
