MATERIAL - 14k yellow gold filled

14k yellow gold-filled, also called 14-carat gold-filled, is a noble material with a legal English designation concerning goldsmithing; it is a solid layer of 14k gold that is applied by heat or pressure to a metal base such as brass or bronze.

14k gold-filled contains 50 to 100 times more gold than a traditional "gold plated" piece of jewelry, allowing it to have the same properties as 14k gold wire.

CARE

Do Atelier Paulin gold filled jewelry pieces require special care?

No. No special maintenance is needed. Simply wiping your jewelry occasionally with a soft cloth is enough to restore its natural shine. You can wear your gold filled piece every day—rain or shine, even at the sea—it is designed to withstand life gracefully and consistently.

Can I shower or swim with my gold filled jewelry?

Yes, absolutely. Unlike gold plated pieces, gold filled jewelry is water-resistant. You can wear it in the shower, at the pool, or on the beach without worrying about tarnishing or damage. That said, to preserve the delicate shapes—especially our hand-shaped wire creations—we recommend removing them during intense physical activity or repetitive handling.

How long does gold filled jewelry last?

A well-maintained gold filled piece can last for decades or more. It is a reliable, sturdy material, perfectly suited for everyday wear. Thanks to its natural resistance, it retains its shine over time—without complex maintenance.

Why did Atelier Paulin choose gold filled?

Because we believe in lasting beauty, at the crossroads of fine craftsmanship and modern life. 14k gold filled allows us to combine ethics, excellence, and elegance, offering a piece you can wear freely, without fear of damage. A living, faithful, and radiant jewel.

At Atelier Paulin, we are committed to preserving this brilliance over time, as each gold filled piece is designed to live with you—not against time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material is the Corsica necklace made from and how durable is it?

This Corsica necklace is handcrafted from yellow 14k gold-filled wire by our artisans in Paris. The 14k gold-filled material contains a substantial layer of real gold bonded to a sterling silver core, making it highly durable and tarnish-resistant for everyday wear. Our unique hand-shaping technique creates work-hardened wire that maintains its shape beautifully over time.

Can I personalize the Corsica necklace with a name or message?

Yes, our Parisian artisans can hand-shape additional wire to add personalized text alongside the Corsica outline. We can incorporate names, dates, or meaningful words (up to 15 characters) using our signature wire-shaping technique - never stamped or pressed. Each personalized element is carefully hand-shaped and laser micro-welded for invisible, permanent attachment.

What is the chain length and can it be adjusted?

The Corsica necklace comes with a delicate 50cm chain (approximately 19.7 inches) that sits beautifully at the collarbone. The chain length is not adjustable, but this measurement works perfectly for most necklines and is our most popular length for pendant necklaces. The fine chain complements the hand-shaped Corsica pendant without overwhelming its elegant silhouette.

Is this Corsica necklace a good gift for special occasions?

This Corsica necklace makes an exceptional personalized gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, or Christmas, especially for someone with Corsican heritage or who loves Mediterranean culture. It's perfect as a gift for her to celebrate travels, family origins, or special memories. Each piece is handcrafted in our Paris atelier in 1 to 3 business days, then shipped worldwide via DHL Express (48/72h) with duties included.

How is the handcrafted nature of Atelier Paulin jewelry guaranteed ?

Our commitment is rooted in the excellence of French craftsmanship. Each Atelier Paulin piece is entirely hand-crafted in our ateliers, without molds or duplication. This rare savoir-faire of working with wire gives every jewel its unique and authentic character, a true signature of the Maison, found nowhere else.

What is the philosophy behind an Atelier Paulin jewel?

Our mission is to give form to connection. Each jewel, whether personalized or from our collections, is a bearer of meaning, created to express, unite, and pass on what truly matters. We design pieces that become luminous witnesses to your family, love, or friendship stories, meant to be cherished and handed down through time.

Is 14k gold-filled wire water-safe?

Yes, that's one of the key advantages of gold-filled wire: it's water-safe. You can wear it in the shower, at the pool, or at the beach with no issue, unlike traditional gold plating, which wears down with moisture. The only precaution concerns intense physical activity or repeated handling — in those cases, it's best to remove the necklace to preserve the delicacy of the hand-shaped design. As for care, no special maintenance is required; a soft cloth every so often is enough to keep its shine. Well cared for, gold-filled wire can last for decades.

Does yellow 14k gold-filled wire require special care?

No demanding maintenance is needed for yellow 14k gold-filled wire — that's one of its strengths. A soft cloth, used from time to time, is enough to keep its shine. It holds up against everyday water exposure and temperature changes, making it a particularly low-maintenance material. There's no need for special products or techniques to care for it. Its only vulnerability is repeated impact during intense physical activity, when it's best to remove it as a precaution, to preserve the fine detail of the hand-shaped wire design.

How does gold-filled wire differ from 18k gold wire?

585/1000 gold-filled wire, also known as 14k Gold Filled, is a solid layer of 585/1000 gold bonded to a metal core, containing 50 to 100 times more gold than traditional gold plating. 750/1000 gold, or 18k gold, is solid gold wire composed of 75% pure gold, recognized as the traditional French gold standard. Every 18k gold piece hand-shaped by the Maison is hallmarked and certified by a master jeweler. Both materials hold up beautifully over time, the difference lying in the wire's composition and crafting time, which is longer for 18k gold (2 to 5 business days).

Can yellow 14k gold-filled wire tarnish over time?

No, the shine of gold-filled wire is guaranteed for life by Atelier Paulin — a notable exception to the standard one-year warranty applied to other aspects of the piece. This material requires no special care: a soft cloth is enough to maintain its shine. Unlike traditional gold plating, it's water-safe and holds its properties for years, with an expected lifespan of several decades. The only precaution concerns intense physical activity, during which it's best to remove the piece to preserve the delicacy of its hand-shaped design.

What sets sterling silver apart from gold-filled wire for this type of necklace?

Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver, with a bright, luminous white tone, hypoallergenic and antibacterial — making it especially well-suited to sensitive skin. It's considered a living metal: a thin layer of oxidation can form on contact with air or moisture, a natural and reversible process that's easily cleaned with warm soapy water. Unlike gold-filled wire, it's best to avoid the pool, shower, and sports while wearing sterling silver jewelry. Yellow 14k gold-filled wire, on the other hand, is water-safe and requires minimal care, making it a more low-maintenance choice for everyday wear.

What's the difference between gold-filled and '585/1000 gold-filled'?

There is no difference: 'gold-filled' and '585/1000 gold-filled' refer to exactly the same material, also known by its legal English designation, 14k Gold Filled. It's a solid layer of 585/1000 gold bonded via heat or pressure to a brass or bronze core, containing 50 to 100 times more gold than traditional gold plating. This material, used for the yellow version of the Corsica Necklace, is also available in rose, but never in white. Both terms are therefore interchangeable across all of the Maison's content.
