What does Sottile mean?

Sot - ti - le

Inspired by the master craftsmanship of our dedicated team in Italy, Sottile is Italian for subtle, fine and delicate. A nod to both our origins and dainty gold jewellery pieces.

Brand Purpose

We believe everyone deserves high quality, beautiful jewellery at an affordable price.

Sottile strives to redefine gold plating by taking away all the negative connotations associated with gold plating; its low quality, turns skin green, tarnishes easily. All our pieces are made to mimic the practicality of solid gold items without the high price tag. Our jewellery has been designed to be staple items you don’t have to take off.

Quality

At Sottile we pride ourselves in delivering luxury, staple pieces at an affordable price. As such we strive to offer the highest quality items for the everyday woman. All our pieces are carefully made and finished by master artisans in Italy. Each piece at its core is 925 sterling silver with a thick layer of 18k gold plating and finished with patented anti-tarnish technology.

MADE FOR THE EVERYDAY.

Subtle | Waterproof | Tarnish-Free
