What is the difference between 14, 18, and 22 karat (k or kt) gold?

These numbers indicate the proportion of pure gold to other metals (alloys) that are added to determine durability, color, and value; the percentages of pure gold in each category are 14kt-14 points per 24 or 58.33%, 18kt-18 points per 24 or 75%, and 22kt-22 points per 24 or 91.67%.

Why do you use 18kt and 22kt gold?

We use high karat gold because our aesthetic is inspired by the ancient cultures that originally created beautiful works in that class of metal; also, high karat gold lends itself to the matte finish that we prefer.

Rose gold is alloyed with copper to produce a pink cast. We work with 18kt rose gold on a special-order basis.

What are conflict-free diamonds?

Conflict-free diamonds are diamonds that have not been used to finance civil wars. These stones are validated by the Kimberley Process. In keeping with our aesthetic, most of our diamonds are rose cut and weigh less than 2 carats; conflict diamonds do not share these characteristics.

Are your materials ethically sourced?

We use only recycled gold from Hoover and Strong (www.hooverandstrong.com/harmony)-no mines are involved . We source our gems from most of the same vendors that we started with in the 1970's, many of whom mine and cut their own stones or have personal relationships with small family mines.

What is the difference between precious and semi-precious stones?

In classical terms, the designation "precious" refers only to diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds, which have long been considered the most valuable gemstones. Gemstone mining and cutting have evolved. Many stones previously considered semi-precious are now recognized as having very rare and exceptional forms, thereby rendering the terms "precious" and "semi-precious" misleading or obsolete. We make abundant use of any and all beautiful materials that inspire us.

Jewelry Care

Rings

We recommend that all rings with gemstones have an annual checkup by a jeweler to insure that they are secure. Certain stones may become worn and scratched with daily wear. Eternity Bands (set with stones that occupy the total circumference of the ring) can be vulnerable to damage if worn during strenuous activities involving the handling of heavy objects (weightlifting, landscaping, etc.).

We offer yearly "spa services" for your rings and other Golden Eye jewelry, free of charge (not including shipping), during which we clean them and check the security and condition of the stones. We encourage you to take advantage of this service...contact us
