Silver

Anti Tarnish Plating: Our silver items are not only crafted with a minimum of .925 silver but are also treated with our anti-tarnish plating, ensuring prolonged beauty and luster even after repeated wear.

Gold Filled

Gold Filled jewelry is crafted by bonding a karat gold overlay to a brass inner core. At JK Findings, we offer 1/20 14K yellow gold filled, 1/20 14K rose gold filled and 1/20 12k gold filled options, ensuring both elegance and durability. Customers often inquire about the distinction between 12K and 14K gold filled, noting slight variations in color and composition. 12K gold filled contains 5% 12K gold by weight with a brass inner core and 14K gold filled contains 5% 14K gold by weight.

JK Findings offers both Regular and Hamilton Plating, each presenting unique characteristics. Hamilton Plating boasts a brighter yellow hue, elevating the allure of select chains, bracelets, lobster claws, trigger clasps, and spring rings.
