Our Story
Fine jewelry made for piercings.
We started Zahav because we got tired of the same two options - gold-plated that falls apart, or $400 a piece. There had to be something in the middle.
Zahav is the Hebrew word for gold. It's what we obsess over - the material, the craft, the reason it matters more than people think.
Why We Started
Solid gold, at a price you can actually build with.
We design in New York, because this city is where body jewelry culture and fine jewelry culture actually meet. We wanted to live honestly between them - real gold, real prices, real designs for real people with real piercings.
Every Zahav piece is made in 14k or 18k solid gold. No plating. No silver. No gold-filled. Real gold, designed to live on your body - in the shower, to the gym, to sleep. It doesn't tarnish. It doesn't cause reactions. It stays exactly the same on year three as it was on day one.
Real gold. Always.
14k and 18k solid gold in every piece. No plating, no vermeil, no base metal underneath. What you see is what's there - all the way through.
Made for piercings.
Piercing jewelry lives on your body. It heals with you, goes everywhere you go, and stays in around the clock. The metal matters - which is why ours is always solid gold.
Build your collection.
You're not buying a single piece. You're building something - an ear stack, a look - one placement at a time. We make pieces worth coming back for.
