Compare Ever to other jewelry types
| Feature | Ever (Gold-Filled) | Fashion | Demi-Fine | Fine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metal construction | A thick layer of 14K yellow gold bonded to a brass core using heat and pressure. | 14K gold over brass or rhodium over brass. | 925 sterling silver or 18K gold vermeil—a layer of gold over a sterling silver base. | Solid 14K yellow or white gold: a gold alloy throughout. |
| Appearance | Warm yellow gold tone. | Gold or silver tones, depending on the finish. | Silver or gold tones, depending on the material. | Yellow or white gold, depending on the design. |
| Durability | Generally more resistant to gold-layer wear than conventional plating or vermeil; water-, sweat-, and tarnish-resistant. | Plating can wear with friction and exposure; mindful wear and care help preserve the finish. | Sterling silver may tarnish with prolonged moisture, perspiration, salt water, or chlorine. Vermeil generally resists wear better than thin gold plating, but its gold layer can wear over time. | Solid gold construction supports lasting wear; can still scratch, and stones and settings need protection. |

Why gold-filled construction matters
Kendra Scott Ever is crafted in 14K Yellow Gold-Filled, with a thick layer of 14K gold bonded to a brass core using heat and pressure. This construction offers greater durability than traditional gold plating. Solid 14K gold is a gold alloy throughout, while gold-filled jewelry has a separate metal core.
