Bead-style pearl necklaces, where the entire necklace is strung with pearls, are a dream accessory for many women. But did you know that some women hesitate to wear this style?

The most popular choice is a 6mm pearl with a 41cm chain (about 44% of sales). Because pendant jewelry inherently highlights clean and simple design, customers tend to choose 6mm pearls instead of the bolder 8mm, and the standard 41cm length rather than the longer 45cm. The 8mm pearl with a 45cm chain comes next (around 16% of sales).

14K gold-filled is a technique where a thick layer of 14K gold is bonded to a base metal, like brass. While it is often confused with gold plating, it is much thicker—about 50 to 100 times thicker than plating. The thick layer of gold must make up at least 5% of the total weight to meet the strict quality standards set by the U.S. FTC. (Jewelry that meets this standard are marked with “1/20”).

Thanks to this thick gold layer, gold-filled jewelry doesn’t tarnish easily like plated jewelry. Additionally, most customers find that 14K gold-filled jewelry doesn’t cause allergic reactions, similar to 14K solid gold.

14K gold-filled is the best choice for enjoying the beauty of 14K gold at a more affordable price (14K gold-filled is mainly produced in the U.S. and Europe *Downtown Juliet uses 14K gold-filled made in the USA. ).
