The TOV Essentials 18K gold jewellery collection features handcrafted solid gold pieces for women who embody their ambitions. Every necklace, ring, bracelet, earring, and piercing is made from solid 18 karat gold (75% pure gold, 750 hallmark equivalent) in our European atelier, using traditional goldsmith standards. No plating, no hollow centres, no base metal — just solid gold all the way through, designed to last a lifetime.
We work exclusively with pre-loved gold: vintage gold that is melted, refined, and reshaped into new pieces. This means TOV Essentials offers the same precious quality as newly mined gold, without the environmental and social cost of new mining. We call it: shining, no mining.
Solid 18K gold contains 75% pure gold, alloyed with other metals for strength. The entire piece is gold throughout — there is no base metal underneath a thin gold layer (which is what gold-plated jewellery is, and why plated pieces tarnish within months). Solid gold does not tarnish, rust, or fade. It is hypoallergenic, safe for sensitive skin, and will not turn your skin green. With basic care, a solid 18K gold piece keeps its shine for generations.
TOV Essentials sells directly to customers with no middleman, which is why our prices for certified solid gold jewellery are typically 30–50% lower than traditional jewellers offering equivalent quality. Every piece is hallmarked, engraved with the TOV signature, and arrives with a digital Certificate of Authenticity.
Our 18K gold jewellery collection includes necklaces (fine chains, statement pieces, diamond pendants), bracelets (herringbone, paperclip, beaded styles), bangles (slim, statement, stackable), rings (bands, stackers, eternity, solitaire), earrings, hoops, studs, and piercings. Many pieces are available with ethically sourced natural diamonds (SI clarity, F-G colour, brilliant cut) or with cubic zirconia for that same brilliance at a more accessible price.
Yes, every piece of TOV Essentials jewellery is solid 18 karat gold throughout (75% pure gold content), not gold plated, gold filled, or vermeil. The gold extends through the entire piece, which is why TOV jewellery does not tarnish, fade, or wear off over time. Each item carries an official hallmark and arrives with a digital Certificate of Authenticity confirming the gold purity.
18K solid gold means the piece contains 75% pure gold (18 parts out of 24) throughout its entire structure, alloyed with stronger metals for durability. Unlike gold-plated jewellery, which has a thin layer of gold over a base metal core, solid 18K gold has no base metal at all. This is why solid gold pieces do not tarnish and are considered fine jewellery that holds value over time.
All TOV Essentials jewellery is handcrafted in our own European atelier by skilled goldsmiths using traditional, internationally recognised goldsmith standards. Each piece is shaped, finished, and quality-checked by hand before being hallmarked and packaged.
Yes, TOV Essentials uses only pre-loved gold — vintage gold that is melted down, refined to purity, and reshaped into new jewellery. No new mining is involved in creating any TOV piece, which avoids the environmental and labour issues associated with traditional gold mining. Diamonds are sourced under a strict zero-tolerance framework covering supply chain transparency, human rights, labour conditions, and environmental responsibility.
No, solid 18 karat gold does not tarnish, rust, fade, or react with skin. The reason cheap jewellery tarnishes or turns skin green is the base metal underneath a thin plated layer — solid gold has no such layer because the entire piece is gold. TOV jewellery is hypoallergenic and safe for daily wear, even on sensitive skin.
Solid 18K gold can handle daily life including showers and sleep, since gold does not corrode in water and does not require removal for normal activities. However, to maintain optimal shine we recommend removing jewellery before swimming in chlorinated pools or salt water, before applying perfumes and lotions, and during heavy workouts or activities involving harsh chemicals.
Yes, every TOV Essentials order arrives with a digital Certificate of Authenticity confirming the 18 karat gold purity. For diamond pieces, the certificate also lists the diamond's cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight. Each physical item carries an official hallmark and the engraved TOV signature as additional proof of authenticity.

Solid 18K gold jewellery is designed to last a lifetime and beyond when given basic care. Gold itself does not decay, oxidize, or break down — pieces from thousands of years ago are still intact today. TOV Essentials jewellery is made to be worn daily for decades and passed down to future generations.
24K gold is 100% pure gold but too soft for daily wear (it scratches and bends easily). 18K gold is 75% pure gold alloyed with stronger metals, offering the best balance of richness, colour, and durability for fine jewellery. 14K gold is 58.5% pure gold, more affordable and slightly harder but with a less vibrant gold colour. TOV Essentials uses 18K gold for its superior colour and quality.
Solid gold contains gold throughout the entire piece. Gold plated jewellery has a microscopically thin layer of gold (usually less than 0.5 microns) over a base metal like brass or copper, and the plating wears off within months to a year. Gold filled jewellery has a thicker gold layer (5% of total weight) but still has a base metal core. Only solid gold does not tarnish, lasts a lifetime, and retains resale value.
Yes, TOV Essentials ships across Europe and to many international destinations, with free shipping available on qualifying orders. Most European orders arrive within 1–3 business days. Each order is shipped in discreet packaging with full tracking.
Your TOV comes boxed up to the max and you receive a digital Certificate of Authenticity.
