Italian Sterling Silver and 18kt Bonded Gold Woven Bracelet

STERLING SILVER: Also known as "Standard Silver," sterling silver is silver alloyed with other metals to increase the hardness and durability. Generally, sterling is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. Some sterling silver jewelry is plated with 14kt-18kt gold and referred to as "vermeil," or "gold over sterling."

18KT: Karat (abbreviated kt or K) is a unit that indicates the purity of gold in the metal. 18kt is 75% gold. In Europe, 18K yellow gold is most favored and used in jewelry.

BONDED GOLD: A sheet of 14kt-18kt gold that has been permanently fixed to sterling silver through a special heat bonding process. Bonded gold is durable and long-lasting.

FOLDOVER: A clasp that folds over a bar and snaps into place. It is secure and also easy to clasp on and off.
