      THATCH jewelry is designed and hand finished by our small team of women in Southern California using 14k gold or rhodium plated metals, precious and semi precious stones. We understand the important meaning behind each and every piece of jewelry and our Team is always here to help keep those special jewels of yours looking good!

      We recommend removing jewelry before swimming, showering, sweating or sleeping. Plated jewelry can be worn daily but should be cleaned with a soft cloth regularly.

      The Materials

      14k Gold Plated, A thick layer of 14k gold plated over brass. Brass is a hard metal that makes a great base, as it's less likely to bend or break under stress and creates a strong bond for plating.

      Rhodium Plated, A thick layer of rhodium plated over brass. Brass is a hard metal that makes a great base, as it's less likely to bend or break under stress and creates a strong bond for plating. Rhodium is a precious metal in the platinum family. It's also a hard metal w. a surface that guards against tarnish and scratches while giving a reflective white appearance. 

      14k Gold Filled, A thick layer of 14k gold over copper. Gold filled consumes gold in a higher quantity which means the color stays vibrant longer than with gold plating. Delicately cleaning your gold filled jewelry regularly with a soft cloth is recommended.

      Sterling Silver, A precious metal, often described as demi-fine. 925 Sterling Silver is 92.5% pure silver and most ideal for lasting jewelry. It will darken over time, so we have finished our sterling silver earrings with rhodium plating. 

      14k Gold Vermeil, A precious metal combination with a thick layer of gold plated over 925 Sterling Silver. Gold Vermeil requires delicate cleaning with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Do not use sterling silver cloths or polishing compounds on vermeil jewelry.
