Ease of care: 4/5

Solid, precious metal that lasts forever. It darkens with time, but can be polished up. Oils from your skin help prevent silver tarnish... so wear it often!

Ease of care: 5/5

More premium than traditional gold plating, vermeil is an extra thick layer of real gold over solid sterling silver. We use 14k or 18k gold depending on the piece.

Ease of care: 5/5

More durable, scratch-resistant and affordable than its 14k counterpart, 10k solid gold offers a softer, subtler tone—ideal for those who prefer a less intense yellow.

    Love my skeleton key

    This is just plain adorable! The quality is great! I really wish I’d gotten the pair instead of just one and I also want the pendant so that’s the plan next!

    Love, love, love

    I have had these in silver, and they're my favorite earrings. I always feel so sad when I change tone to gold because I have to take them out. I saw that these are being phased out, so I decided to buy the gold ones. Such a satisfying purchase. I have worn them constantly since receiving the package. GLDN makes great small studs for small earlobes like mine.

    Loving these!

    I really love these! They're great everyday earrings. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is because they don't quite give me the full-body YES of other jewelry I've purchased from GLDN, but I do still really love them and wear them all the time. I'm not always sure what direction to point the keys, so I mix it up. Or sometimes, they spin on their own.
