HOW TO LOVE AND CARE FOR YOUR PIECES

What is Gold Filled Jewelry?

Gold filled jewelry is a layered metal of brass with a layer of gold on the surface that is put in place with heat and pressure.  It is much more affordable than solid gold, but with the same beautiful color and shine.  It is more durable than plated metals because the gold content is significantly thicker.  Gold filled jewelry will not tarnish and is good for most skin types.  

What is gold plated?

As its name suggests, gold plated jewelry is jewelry coated with a layer of gold. This allows it to accurately mimic the appearance of pure gold. The materials used in gold plated jewelry vary. Some designers use silver, while others use a combination of materials such as copper and nickel.

Gold plated jewelry is manufactured using a process known as "flash plating". This involves dipping a base material into gold solution. The solution coats the jewelry and dries, giving it the appearance of genuine gold.

What is Stainless Steel Jewelry?

Stainless steel jewelry is strong, durable and rust-resistant. This means stainless steel jewelry will not rust or tarnish.

How do I care for my jewelry?

Please follow the care instructions below to maintain the life of your jewelry.  All jewelry should be removed before washing your hands or using any kind of lotion or soaps.  Remove jewelry before going to bed as you may sweat while you sleep.  It is also a good idea to remove before swimming.  If you are going to sweat more than usual it is also best to remove before working out. 

Where should I store my jewelry?

Make sure to store your jewels in a pouch, vanity or jewelry box.  Your jewels should be protected from moisture when you are not wearing them.  It is always a good idea to keep them in a closed box or pouch.
