IS HEAVY BETTER THAN LIGHT?
There are areas times and places in life where something light or being light might seem much more fitting than being heavy. Or on the contrary, a heavy piece may seem much stronger or resistant than a light one. But what should one do when we are considering a piece of jewelry?
On one hand a heavy earring can be a burden on your ear, but a light bracelet might bend or scratch easier.
HOW LIGHT IS GOLD?
Gold is a very heavy metal; at a temperature of 20°C, the density of gold is 19320 kg/m3. This means that 1 m3 of such metal has a mass of 19320 kg. We are not accustomed to attributing heaviness to this metal because it is rare and because we have always been accustomed to seeing small and very precious quantities of it. Therefore, a heavy metal has lightness attributed to it as a quality.
WHY ARE SOME PIECES HEAVIER THAN OTHERS?
The weight of the piece of jewelry depends mostly in the way the piece was created –
Casting, stamping, or electroforming – casting will create a completely solid piece of jewelry, very heavy, while either stamping or electroforming will make lighter or hollow pieces that are elegant and stylish with a very high quality but a lighter weight.
BUT COULD HEAVY BE LIGHT?

They are crafted in a way to they can feel very light when worn, the main idea is that they could be resistant enough but that they don’t bother the person using it, as a big part of our line is created to be worn by babies and young children!
