Care & Sizing

What is the difference between 9kt, 14kt, 18kt and 24kt gold?

Pure gold is expressed as 24kt gold. That means it is not mixed with any other metal and is a very soft metal. To make it more durable in jewelry, gold is mixed with other metals to make it stronger: a gold alloy.

The number of karats in gold speaks to how much of the alloy is made of gold. 24 karat gold is 100% pure, so for example in 9kt gold, 9 of 24 parts is made of gold. As a percentage, that will be 37.5% pure gold (sometimes hallmarked 375). In 14kt gold 14 of 24 parts is made of gold, respectively 58.5% (sometimes hallmarked 585). In 15kt gold 15 of 24 parts is made of gold, respectively 62.5% (sometimes hallmarked 625). In 18kt gold 18 of 24 parts is pure gold, respectively 75% pure gold (sometimes hallmarked 750).

What is 9kt gold and does it fade?

9kt gold is a gold alloy with 37.5% purity. That means that it is a mix of 37.5% gold, and 62.5% other materials, usually silver, copper, zinc, platinum, or palladium. The blend of other metals will determine whether the gold has a more yellow, rose, or white gold look. This makes 9kt gold durable and strong, as pure gold is quite soft and prone to scratches and bends. It also means that we can offer you a variety of rings at different price points: 9kt gold will be more affordable than 14kt or 18kt gold.

Because 9kt gold is an alloy it does not fade. Unlike gold-plated or gold-filled jewelry, where a thin or thicker layer of gold is cast over another metal like silver, with 9kt gold the item is entirely made up of the gold mix. Your item will not turn green or fade. Please note however that if you are allergic to copper, due to the sometimes-higher content of copper in 9kt gold you may have a reaction.

In the Netherlands, 9kt gold may not officially be called gold due to its lower pure gold content. The rules on whether an alloy may be called gold are different per country.

How do I clean my jewelry?

If you want to clean your jewelry (NOT the ones with soft stones), the best way is to mix (mild) detergent with lukewarm water. Soak your jewelry for about 20 to 30 minutes and voila! If needed, you can rub excess dirt off with a cloth or use a soft toothbrush.

For jewelry with soft stones, we recommend that you mix a (mild) detergent with lukewarm water. Use a cloth to dip in the soapy water and gently clean your jewelry. Have a look on this page for more details.

How can I measure my ring size?

We get a lot of questions on how to best measure your ring size. We completely understand that buying a piece of jewelry is a big investment and not being sure what your ring size is, does not make it easier. We have written a size guide to make it easier. Have a look here for more information. You can also order a ring size measuring tool and we offer a ring sizing service.

How do I know my purchase is real solid gold? 

Selling solid gold treasures that will last you a lifetime is part of the Wild Heart DNA. Gold plated or gold-filled jewelry will eventually fade, and that's such a shame! That's why Wild Heart does not sell gold plated or gold-filled jewelry. How special is it that an item can span multiple generations and tell the story of many different humans. To make sure the jewelry sold is real gold, all items are checked. Usually they will have a hallmark: a stamp inside the band that indicates what the gold content is and whether it is solid gold or plated / filled. The description to each item sold on the website will mention what hallmarks are present. If an item does not have hallmarks, it doesn't mean it isn't solid gold. In that case we thoroughly check it (on a test stone and under the microscope) and double check with our jeweler.

Do you have a store? 

Wild Heart Treasures does not have a store at the moment. Buying a piece of jewelry can be a bit daunting online, so we do offer the possibility to book a studio visit. You can ask all your questions, try on jewelry, and get your ring size measured in the Wild Heart studio in Amsterdam East. Wild Heart also loves pop-ups, so keep an eye out on the Wild Heart Instagram account to see when the next pop up will be.

How can I reach you? 

If you have any concerns or questions, contact us anytime via e-mail (welcome@wildhearttreasures.com), telephone (Tel. +31 (0) 6 8217 4830) or this form.
