Why Solid Gold Body Jewelry Matters: Safety, Style & Investment

Why Solid Gold Body Jewelry Matters: Safety, Style & Investment

Timeless, safe, and designed to last a lifetime.
At Facet & Form, we believe body jewelry should be more than decoration—it should be an extension of who you are. That’s why every piece we curate is crafted in solid 14k or 18k gold.

Beyond Beauty: Safety First

When it comes to body jewelry, materials matter. Not all metals are created equal. Lower-quality alloys or plated pieces may cause irritation, tarnish over time, or even pose health risks. Solid gold is biocompatible, meaning it works in harmony with the body. This ensures comfort, longevity, and peace of mind for everyday wear.

14k vs. 18k Gold

Both are beautiful, but there are subtle differences:

  • 14k gold: Durable, with a slightly paler hue; perfect for daily wear.

  • 18k gold: Richer in color and warmer in tone; ideal for those who love a deeper glow.

No matter the choice, both meet the highest standard for safe body piercing jewelry.

The BVLA Standard

We partner with BVLA, the leader in handcrafted fine body jewelry, whose artisans hand-set every stone and sculpt each design in Los Angeles. Their commitment to quality means every facet—literally—meets the gold standard.

An Investment in You

Solid gold isn’t just a purchase; it’s an investment. Each piece holds its value, resists tarnish, and can be worn for years without losing its brilliance. Jewelry should move with you through every stage of life, not be replaced every season.
