Everything You Need to Know
When it comes to modern luxury with timeless flair, Oak & Ash is quickly becoming a standout name in the world of contemporary jewelry. From massive gold-plated chain bracelets to chunky hoop earrings and statement rings, their pieces are eye-catching, sophisticated, and undeniably stylish.
But one question continues to surface:
👉 Is Oak & Ash jewelry made of real gold?
Let’s break it down....
🧾 What Is Oak & Ash Jewelry Made Of?
Oak & Ash jewelry is not solid gold. Instead, the pieces are crafted using 18K gold plating—a thin layer of real 18-karat gold that is bonded over durable base metals such as stainless steel or brass.

This design technique allows Oak & Ash to offer jewelry that:
-
Looks and feels like real gold
-
Is more affordable than fine gold jewelry
-
Is ideal for fashion-forward everyday wear
🔬 What Does 18K Gold-Plated Mean?
“Gold-plated” jewelry means a very thin layer of gold (in this case, 18K) is applied to a core material. The result? A shiny, luxurious appearance without the high price of solid gold or even gold-filled pieces.
