It is believed that nearly all the gold on Earth came from meteorites that bombarded the planet over 200 million years after it formed, and the only metal that is yellow or “golden.” At Andrea Gutierrez Jewelry, we strive to use recycled gold as often as possible. We believe in working in the most sustainable and eco conscious ways possible.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][grve_media_box image=”24561″ overlay_opacity=”0″ title=”Yellow Gold” heading_tag=”h2″ heading=”h2″ animation=”fadeInUp”]Yellow gold has different tones affected by the type of metal alloys used. 18K gold which is used in many Andrea Gutierrez collections has an intense yellow glow and rich complexion.[/grve_media_box][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][grve_media_box image=”24560″ overlay_opacity=”0″ title=”White Gold” heading_tag=”h2″ heading=”h2″ animation=”fadeInUp”]White gold is an alloy of gold combined with at least one white metal such as nickel or silver.

Each gemstone is a unique gift from Mother Nature, grown and formed deep beneath the earth’s surface over thousands of years. Some gemstones have been treasured since before history began and prized for both their beauty and healing properties. At Andrea Gutierrez, we source responsibly and continually look for, and try to find, conflict-free gemstones.

Since ancient times, the pearl has been a symbol of flawless perfection, purity, and natural beauty. It is the oldest known gem and for centuries considered the most valuable. The Latin word for pearl literally means “unique”, since no two pearls are identical, and the only gemstone grown inside a living organism. At Andrea Gutierrez, our signature use of pearls is a favorite look, and each one examined and assessed. The majority of our pearls come from a family owned business that has been sourcing and providing pearls for two generations.

Throughout history, silver has been called the Queen of Metals, and highly conductive and malleable. But pure silver can’t survive as a sturdy piece of jewelry on its own, which is why silversmiths created the alloy “sterling silver” — a mix of silver and other metals. Only jewelry that is at least 92.5 percent pure silver can be called or labeled “sterling silver,” as required in the United States since 1906. At Andrea Gutierrez Jewelry, we stand by that standard.
