Julia’s Opal Necklace

Drip strives to use the best possible materials, while keeping costs low for you! Everything we do here is hypoallergenic, tarnish-resistant, water-resistant, and should withstand normal use. We want to be able to provide options for everyone’s budget and everyone’s lifestyle. ♥️💧✨

OUR MAIN MATERIAL:  

• 14K GOLD Gold-Filled is a great alternative to solid gold, it is a base metal (usually copper, steel or brass) and is coated with 14k or 18k gold.  It is much more affordable than solid gold, but still has that high quality we strive for at Drip. All Gold-Filled on the website is 100% USA-Grade Gold-Filled Material, even if it does not say it (I just forgot to write it).
  
  To be classified as "Gold-Filled" in the United States, the product must contain at least 5% gold.  To be classified as "Gold-Plated" in the United States, the product can contain .05% gold! This coating is 100x more gold than gold-plated jewelry and can withstand normal amounts of sweat and water. However, it is not solid gold and that is kind of the point! Drip’s Gold-filled pieces are an affordable alternative and definitely a great bang for your buck.
  
  Gold-Filled material can get very expensive and that is why we have introduced stainless steel!
• PVD 18K GOLD Stainless Steel: After months of testing, we finally hacked the system! We figured out why some gold-plated stainless steel is better than others.  It all boils down to the manufacturing process. 
  
  Our gold-colored stainless steel is the highest quality you can get. The core of this material is medical grade stainless steel. AKA what the dentist puts in your mouth. AKA won’t tarnish! 18k gold is chemically bonded or vacuum sealed onto the steel so that it will not fade color like typical gold-plated jewelry would. Stainless Steel is known for its hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant properties. These styles are water-resistant, like our gold-filled styles.
  
  The beauty of stainless steel is that it is far more affordable than gold-filed, this allows us to create more statement pieces and keep them in your budget. The other big bonus with stainless steel is that it does NOT TARNISH. EVER! After a while, a long while, the gold color may begin to fade, but it starts to look more worn and vintage-y, not tarnished.
