Crafted from 18K solid gold, our jewelry pieces offer the perfect blend of luxury, durability, and longevity. 18K solid gold is composed of 75% pure gold, providing a richer, warmer color and superior strength compared to 14K. Hypoallergenic, tarnish-free, and more resilient, 18K solid gold ensures timeless elegance and is ideal for everyday wear. Our pieces are a lasting investment in fine jewelry that will maintain their beauty for years to come.
Celebrating Handcrafted Beauty
At the79th, each piece of jewelry is carefully handcrafted with genuine 18K solid gold, making every item unique and personal. Due to the artisanal nature of our process, slight variations and imperfections may be present—such as earring rods that might not be perfectly straight or minor texture differences.
We believe these natural inconsistencies are part of the charm, adding character and individuality to every piece. Instead of seeking perfection, we choose to celebrate the craftsmanship and authenticity behind each creation.
Purity Mark
In compliance with international standards, each piece features a small, minimal purity mark to certify its 18K gold content. While this mark is required by law due to our curated materials from multiple overseas markets, it is discreetly placed and designed to remain hidden, so it won’t take away from the beauty of your jewelry.
