OUR STORY

Treasure Beads Amsterdam is a Dutch jewelry brand that was established in 2020 during the quarantine of COVID-19 global pandemic. Many families could not be together in the way they are used to and it made us realise that there is only one thing that really matters - when people we love are healthy and close by. Every piece features special stones that represent people you love – your treasures. Our mission is to create minimalistic and personalised accessories which offer a subtle way to always have your loved ones close by.

​

Our designs are meant to last for years, not months. By choosing high quality and durable materials to work with, we work against the trend of fast-fashion. We believe it is better to buy less, wear and love it more, and then perhaps even pass it on to one of your treasures. We use materials and colours that are inspired by nature and therefore will never go out of fashion. All pieces are made handmade in the Netherlands.

Making Gold Jewelry

ABOUT GOLD FILLED

In terms of durability gold filled sits in-between gold plated and real gold. During production process a thick layer of 14K real gold is attached to a brass base. By law at least 5% of the weight needs to be pure gold. The golden layer will not chip off or fade easily, like gold-plated materials, but it might not last for as long as real gold. Still, gold filled is the most affordable alternative to real gold which, if properly taken care of, will serve you for many years and look beautiful.   

 

Is gold filled waterproof?

 

Yes, just water (e.g. shower) is not a problem, especially if you use a perfume-free shower product and dry your piece thoroughly after. However pretty much everything else is a problem for gold filled jewelry: swimming pools, open water, hot tubs, anything with perfume, oil or acid in it is not a good combination.

HOW TO CARE

We recommend taking off your jewelry for swimming, sports, when applying creams, sun creams, cosmetics, oils, perfume, hair products, etc. Store it in a dry, ideally airtight container. For cleaning use just water or add a drop of mild soap and dry thoroughly. In case of tarnish polish with the provided cloth.
