Understanding the Types of Gold

At Curious Magpie, we are committed to using only high-quality materials sourced from trusted UK suppliers.

With gold prices currently at a record high, many customers are seeking more affordable alternatives that still offer the beauty and durability of solid gold. Fortunately, there are several excellent options that provide the same rich, golden appearance at a more accessible price point. These include Gold Fill, Gold Vermeil, and Gold Plate.

Here’s a brief breakdown of the different options. In the Curious Magpie Studio, I primarily work with Solid Gold, Gold Vermeil, and Gold Fill, as Gold Plate does not offer the level of longevity and quality I want for my pieces.
