When it comes to jewellery you wear every day, the materials matter just as much as the design. At Weld & Wore, we carefully select every metal we use to ensure your pieces not only look beautiful, but are made to last.
Whether you’re choosing permanent jewellery or exploring our removable fashion pieces, here’s everything you need to know about the metals behind your jewellery
Permanent Jewellery: Designed for Everyday Wear
Our permanent jewellery is created to be worn continuously, so durability and quality are essential. That’s why we work with two premium materials:
925 Sterling Silver
A timeless classic, 925 sterling silver is made up of 92.5% pure silver, combined with 7.5% other metals, making it both durable and beautifully bright in finish. Pure silver on its own is very soft, so this small addition makes it much stronger and more suitable for jewellery that needs to hold its shape.
Why we love it:
- Long-lasting with the right care
- Lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear
- A versatile, polished look that suits any style
Sterling silver is perfect for those who love a clean, minimal aesthetic that never goes out of fashion.
14k Gold Filled
Unlike gold plating, 14k gold filled involves a thick layer of real 14k gold that is mechanically bonded (heat and pressure) to a base metal. This isn’t just a light coating - it typically contains around 5% real gold by weight, which makes it significantly more durable than plated jewellery.
What makes it special:
- A thick layer of real 14k gold bonded to a base metal
- More resistant to tarnishing than standard gold plating
- Designed for long-term, everyday wear
It’s an ideal choice if you want a warm, golden finish that holds up to daily life while maintaining its shine.
We offer our chains and charms in both 92.5% Sterling Silver and 14k Gold Filled.
Removable Fashion Jewellery: Style & Versatility
Alongside our permanent pieces, we also offer a range of removable fashion jewellery designed for flexibility, layering, and trend-led styling.
Stainless Steel
Known for its strength and durability, stainless steel is a reliable choice for everyday fashion jewellery.
Benefits include:
- Highly resistant to tarnishing and corrosion
- Strong and long-lasting
- Low-maintenance and easy to wear
Perfect for stacking, layering, and building your jewellery collection.
14k Gold Plated
For those who love a gold finish with a fashion-forward feel, our 14k gold plated pieces are a great option.
Why choose gold plated:
- A layer of 14k gold applied over a base metal
- Offers a rich, golden look at an incredibly accessible price point
- Ideal for trend pieces and styling versatility
These pieces are perfect for switching up your look and experimenting with different styles.
