Jewelry made of gold stands for value, durability, and luxury. It lasts for generations, guarding emotions and memories. Gold jewelry from Maren is also sustainable and represents a brilliantly beautiful and ethical future. We can confidently say where our gold comes from and how it was sourced – and that makes each of our pieces even more valuable. With sustainable recycled gold, we take a big step towards circular economy. Urban mining reduces the need for new gold mines and minimizes the negative impacts of traditional gold mining.

Gold is not just gold, and sometimes it is not so easy to recognize the differences in gold alloys at first glance and to classify the prices. Whether white gold or yellow gold, all our jewelry pieces have a high proportion of pure gold – also called fine gold. However, pure fine gold is unsuitable for making jewelry because it is very soft and prone to damage. Therefore, other precious metals are added to make the gold jewelry more durable. All our jewelry pieces consist of 75% recycled fine gold and receive their warm, yellow gold or bright, white gold color through this high proportion. The difference in color arises from the different mixing ratios. The gold content of our jewelry pieces always remains the same: sustainable 750 gold or 18 karat, the highest quality gold alloy suitable for jewelry making. If you are not yet sure whether you are more of a yellow gold or white gold type, you can gather information about the effects of jewelry colors in our journal.

Frequent questions about our gold jewelry
What does the "750" stamp on gold jewelry mean?
The 750 stamp on your gold jewelry indicates the alloy – that is, the proportion of pure fine gold used in your gold jewelry. In Germany, 333 gold, 585 gold, and 750 gold are common. The gold content is given in thousandths by weight. The smaller the number, the less gold is actually contained in the alloy (the precious metal mixture) used for the piece of jewelry. With 750 gold, the piece consists of 75% fine gold.
How do I store gold jewelry?
To keep your gold jewelry from losing its shine and to keep it beautiful for a long time, you should store it airtight and dry, away from sunlight. A jewelry box is ideal for this, where you can store real gold rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces separately to protect them from scratches. For rings, a more compact ring box is also a good option. It's best if you gently clean your gold jewelry before storing it, as described in the next question. If you travel a lot or are often on the go, our travel jewelry case is a great and compact solution to store your jewelry safely and securely. For your nightstand or dresser, we also have beautiful ceramic bowls and dishes that offer a practical and stylish storage option for everyday use.
How do I clean gold jewelry?
Even though real gold jewelry is very durable and high-quality alloys hardly tarnish, valuable pieces of jewelry still require regular care to maintain their brilliant shine over time. Especially if you wear your jewelry daily, the shiny surface can quickly be affected by things like skin oils, cosmetics, sweat, wastewater, or soap residue. To prevent scratches and maintain or restore the original shine, you should therefore clean your jewelry regularly . You can use professional cleaning services or try various cleaning methods yourself. Whether cleaning with dish soap, baking powder or baking soda, aluminum foil, vinegar, or using special cleaning kits is suitable depends on the piece of jewelry and the type of dirt. In our journal 'Cleaning Gold Jewelry: How to Do It Easily,' we cover individual cases and explain suitable methods and specific procedures. After cleaning, you should always finish with a polish to restore the shine.
What is the difference between 14K, 18K, and 24K gold?
When it comes to gold content in carats, this is an older but still very common designation in the jewelry industry, where the weight proportion (also called fineness) of gold is given in 1/24 parts. 8 carats correspond to 333 gold, 14 carats to 585 gold, and 18 carats to 750 gold.
How do I verify the authenticity of gold jewelry?
The most reliable indication of the quality and authenticity of gold jewelry is the fineness stamp. In real gold jewelry, you will always find the gold content as an engraved number. The number 585 (14 carat) or 750 (18 carat) thus tells you about the alloy, while real silver is stamped with 925. If such a stamp is missing, it probably indicates that it is only silver-plated or gold-plated metal.
