About Seven Belle Jewelry

Welcome to Seven Belle Jewelry! Seven Belle is completely owned and operated by me, Victoria =]

After years working in jewelry retail and hunting for pieces for my personal collection, I realized that I had a desire to create jewelry.

My main inspiration comes from colored faceted stones and how to make them a part of everyday wear, as well as antique fine jewelry. 

I am currently working with mostly gold-filled metal and sterling silver, and am working on learning the craft of lost wax carving to create heirloom quality pieces. 

Gold Jewelry Guide: What’s the Difference?

When it comes to gold jewelry, the terms can get confusing. I want you to be totally transparent in the type of jewelry I sell, and help you be the most informed consumer when it comes to buying pretty pieces =]

✨ Gold Plated

  • A very thin layer of gold over a base metal (like brass or copper).
  • Usually less than 0.5 microns thick.
  • Most affordable option, but the gold layer can fade or wear off with time.

✨ Gold Vermeil

  • A thicker layer of gold (at least 2.5 microns) over sterling silver.
  • More durable than standard plating.
  • Good choice if you want higher quality than plated jewelry but not the cost of gold filled or solid gold.

✨ Gold Filled (what I currently sell!)

  • A thick layer of solid gold (at least 5% of the piece’s total weight) is mechanically bonded to a base metal, usually brass.
  • Much more durable than plating or vermeil—the gold won’t rub off easily.
  • With proper care, gold filled jewelry can last for decades, offering the look and feel of solid gold without the high price.

✨ Solid Gold

  • Made entirely of gold, marked by karats (10k, 14k, 18k, 24k).
  • Won’t wear off, since it’s gold through and through.
  • The most valuable and durable option, but also the most expensive.

Returns & Exchanges ✨

Because each piece is handcrafted and carefully packaged, I do not accept returns at this time. However, I want you to feel confident in your purchase—so I’m happy to offer exchanges or store credit within 14 days of delivery.

Thank you for supporting my small business! Your happiness means everything, and I’ll always do my best to make sure you truly love your jewelry. 💛
