About The79th

Based in Arlington, Virginia, The79th was created out of a passion for providing affordable, high-quality solid gold jewelry. Tired of seeing people waste money on gold-plated pieces that tarnish and cause skin irritation, or overpaying for exuberant-priced 14K gold, The79th set out to offer a better solution. With a focus on accessible luxury, the brand delivers timeless, durable 18K solid gold jewelry. Never plated, filled or vermeil, without the hefty mark ups.

The name 'The 79th' holds profound meaning for us. It pays homage to the 79th element on the periodic table—gold. This reference not only highlights our dedication to authenticity but also emphasizes the timeless beauty and value of our pieces.
