What is the 18k white gold (750/1000) used for this necklace?

18k gold, also known as 750/1000 gold, is a solid gold wire made of 75% pure gold — often called the "gold of French tradition." It comes in three tones — yellow, rose, and white — which is why this necklace is available in its white version. Every piece hand-shaped from this material is hallmarked, certified, and hand-shaped by one of the Maison's jewelry artisans. Unlike gold-filled wire, which only comes in yellow and rose, 18k gold offers this sought-after white tone prized for its cool, luminous shine. It's a noble material, made to last and to be passed down.

Does this necklace require any special care?

No, 18k gold doesn't require any special care. A simple clean with lukewarm water and mild soap, followed by drying with a soft cloth, is enough to preserve its shine over time. This material is known for its stability: it doesn't oxidize and keeps its white tone with no extra treatment needed. That's one of the advantages of 18k gold over more sensitive materials like sterling silver, which can develop a light natural tarnish from contact with air or humidity. With this necklace, care stays simple and occasional, with no daily upkeep required.

How is this white gold necklace hand-shaped?

Since 2014, Atelier Paulin has hand-shaped its pieces from a single strand of precious metal wire — here, 18k gold wire — rather than carving a design into a flat surface the way engraving does. This wire is hand-shaped by a jewelry artisan, and the whole piece is then work-hardened after shaping: this cold-working process gives the metal its shape memory and resilience. The hand-shaped wire is also reinforced with laser micro-welding at tension points, a technique that strengthens the piece without ever weighing down its design. Each necklace is then hallmarked and certified.

What's the difference between this 18k gold necklace and a gold-filled version?

18k gold (750/1000) is a solid gold wire made of 75% pure gold, available in yellow, rose, and white — it's the material used for this necklace. Gold-filled wire (585/1000), also called 14k gold-filled, is a solid layer of 585/1000 gold bonded onto a base metal, and only comes in yellow and rose, never white. That's why this necklace, in white, is necessarily hand-shaped in 18k gold — the only material Atelier Paulin offers in this color. Both materials are hand-shaped with the same artisan care, but their composition and available tones differ.

Is 18k white gold available elsewhere in the collection, on other pieces?

18k gold is available across the Atelier Paulin collection in three tones: yellow, rose, and white. It's a solid gold wire made of 75% pure gold, hallmarked, certified, and hand-shaped by one of the Maison's jewelry artisans. Unlike gold-filled wire, which only comes in yellow and rose, 18k gold makes the white tone you see on this necklace possible. To check whether a specific piece is available in this tone, we invite you to check directly on its product page.

Would sterling silver be better than white gold for sensitive skin?

Sterling silver, an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver, is indeed recognized as hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it a solid choice for sensitive skin. This necklace's 18k gold — a solid gold wire made of 75% pure gold — doesn't come with a specific hypoallergenic claim in our reference materials. If skin sensitivity is a deciding factor for you, we invite you to reach out to our customer service team, who can help guide you between this 18k gold necklace and a sterling silver alternative.
