Our Materials

At Indigo Made, every material is chosen with intention. We carefully select and hand-assemble our pieces to ensure they’re made for real, everyday wear. Here’s what goes into your favorites.

Quality you can feel. Style you can trust.

14/20 Gold-Filled — Our Forever Staples

Our Signature Chains are crafted in 14/20 gold-filled metal — the highest quality alternative to solid gold.

What it is: A thick layer of 14k gold permanently bonded to a jeweler’s brass core.
Why it’s special: It contains 100x more gold than standard gold plating.
The Benefit: Designed for daily life — shower-safe, sweat-proof, and made to stay shimmering for years without tarnishing or turning your skin green.
Look for it in: Our Forever Staples — The Signature Box Chain, Paperclip Chain, and Huggies.

Our gold-filled Forever Staples are designed for permanence. For seasonal and curated designs, we use high-quality gold layering techniques.


Premium Gold Finishes

For our Monthly Edits and curated designs, we use premium gold finishes over durable base metals like stainless steel or brass.

What it is: A high-quality base metal finished in 14k or 18k gold using professional gold-layering or PVD techniques.
Why it’s special: Treated with a protective coating designed to resist fading and support everyday wear.
The Benefit: You get the rich look of real gold in thoughtfully designed pieces made to express the moment.
Look for it in: Monthly Charm Edits, dainty studs, and finished necklaces.

These pieces are designed for seasonal expression — we recommend removing them before prolonged water exposure to preserve their finish over time

Lead & Nickel Free: Hypoallergenic components designed for sensitive skin.
