Our Products

At ITI NYC, we guarantee our products are exactly what we describe them as in the titles and descriptions. Whether you are a new jeweler, without any trade experience, or a seasoned veteran with 30+ years in the business, we still recommend reading both the title and description very carefully before ordering online. We are dedicated to being as transparent as possible when it comes to the manufacturing and production of our products. If you have any questions about the composition of the metals we use in our products, please read this page and if you are still looking for answers, feel free to contact us via live chat, phone or email and we will try to get back to you in a timely manner!

Product Titles and Descriptions:

When products are Gold, we clearly state 14K, 18K, or 10K Gold with its color and state “585 14K” and/or “750 18K Gold”, etc, in the description.

When products are “finished” with Gold, their titles will reflect that by clearly stating “Sterling Silver'' or “14K Gold-Filled”, respectively. We also always mention “925 Sterling Silver” or “14/20 Gold Filled” in our descriptions for these products as well.

All products are 100% SOLID unless clearly listed as “HOLLOW”.
