Ventrone Chronicles was created with the mission of bringing sophistication and reachability to demi-fine jewelry of high quality for all.

Below is an education on all the materials we use and why.

WHAT IS GOLD FILLED?

GOLD FILLED JEWELRY IS CREATED BY PRESSURE BONDING AN ACTUAL LAYER OF SOLID GOLD TO ANOTHER PIECE OF METAL; IN OUR CASE, WE USE BRASS. IT HAS THE SAME LOOK AS SOLID GOLD, FOR A MORE ECONOMICAL PRICE, AND REALLY HOLDS UP VERY WELL TOO. WHEN PURCHASING A GOLD FILLED PIECE, IT WILL NOT BE SUBJECTED TO TARNISHING, IT WON'T RUB OFF, OR TURN ANY COLORS. GOLD FILLED ACCESSORIES ARE BUILT TO LAST FOR MANY YEARS OF DAILY WEAR. THE LAYER OF GOLD USED IS SIGNIFICANTLY THICKER THAN ONE FOUND ON A GOLD PLATED PIECE. MOST PEOPLE WITH METAL SENSITIVITIES CAN WEAR GOLD FILLED PIECES WITHOUT HAVING ANY REACTIONS; UNLESS YOU ARE A PERSON WITH A BRASS OR GOLD ALLERGY. YOU'D EXPECT GOLD FILLED JEWELRY TO BE A MORE POPULAR OPTION THAN IT ACTUALLY IS, BUT NOT MANY BRANDS SELL GOLD FILLED PIECES. IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND A BRAND THAT DOES, CHANCES ARE, THE MARK UP IS INSANE. However, our prices are as REACHABLE as POSSIBLE for the QUALITY.

WHAT IS SOLID GOLD?

SOLID GOLD IS HIGHEST IN PRICE AND PURITY. IT IS A PRECIOUS METAL THAT WILL NOT TARNISH OR FADE IN TIME. ALTHOUGH, SOLID GOLD PIECES ARE GENERALLY SOFTER THAN PLATED OR FILLED PIECES, THEY ARE BUILT TO LAST FOREVER. THUS, MAKING SOLID GOLD THE BEST OPTION FOR CLASSIC BASICS YOU'LL WANT TO WEAR FOREVER, THEN PASS DOWN TO YOUR KIDS! GOLD IS A PRECIOUS METAL AND ON THE HIGHER END OF THE MARKET, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE THE INDUSTRY STANDARD MARK UP OF 8X-10X OF COST EFFECTIVE, OR ETHICAL. VENTRONE CHRONICLES OFFERS SOLID GOLD STAPLES AT A PRICE THAT'S FAIR TO YOU.

WHAT IS GOLD PLATE?

GOLD PLATED JEWELRY IS MADE BY COATING A THIN LAYER OF GOLD OVER A MORE AFFORDABLE PIECE METAL VIA ELECTROPLATING OR CHEMICAL PLATING. IT IS A GOOD CHOICE FOR PIECES OR COMPONENTS THAT DO NOT HAVE DIRECT CONTACT WITH SKIN, SUCH AS AN EARRING, CHARM OR FOR CHUNKIER OR LARGER COSTUME PIECES THAT WON’T BE WORN DAILY. GOLD PLATE WILL TARNISH AND FADE OVER TIME. IT IS VERY AFFORDABLE & COST EFFECTIVE, MAKING IT TO BE THE MOST POPULAR CHOICE FOR JEWELRY BRANDS TO USE. DUE TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HOLD UP OF GOLD PLATE, WE MAKE SURE TO REALISTICALLY & FAIRLY PRICE OUR GOLD PLATED PIECES. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE US, TAKE A LOOK AT OUR COMPETITORS' PRICING VS QUALITY
