Fashion Jewelry features trend-forward designs crafted in 14k gold over brass or rhodium over brass. Kendra Scott Ever offers 14k gold-filled jewelry made for greater durability and everyday wear. Demi-Fine Jewelry uses elevated materials such as 18k gold vermeil and sterling silver, making it ideal for gifting, personalization, and everyday styling. Fine Jewelry is crafted from solid 14k gold and designed for lasting wear, meaningful milestones, and special occasions.  

Gold-plated jewelry features a layer of gold applied over a base metal, such as brass. Gold-filled jewelry has a thicker layer of gold permanently bonded to a brass core using heat and pressure, providing greater durability than traditional gold plating. Gold vermeil features a layer of gold over a sterling silver base. Solid-gold jewelry is made from a gold alloy throughout rather than a layer of gold over another metal. 

Yes, but the best material depends on your routine. Kendra Scott Ever is designed for everyday life and is water-resistant, sweat-resistant, and tarnish-resistant. Fashion and Demi-Fine Jewelry should be removed before swimming, exercising, cleaning, or applying personal-care products. Fine Jewelry is designed for lasting wear but removing it during physical activity and around harsh chemicals will help preserve its finish.  

Care instructions vary by material. Store jewelry in a dry pouch or lined box and keep it away from perfume, lotion, makeup, soaps, and cleaning products. Protect plated and sterling silver jewelry by removing it before swimming, exercising, or showering. Fine Jewelry can be gently washed with mild soap, rinsed thoroughly, and dried with a soft cloth. Always review the product’s specific care instructions before cleaning.
