BEFORE YOU BUY

Gold-Filled

What is Gold-filled jewelry?Gold-filled jewelry contains a thick layer of Gold bonded through a heating process to brass metal. Gold-filled jewelry legally has to contain 5% or 1/20 of gold by weight. This means that your Gold-filled pieces contain 100 times more gold in it than a Gold-plated piece. These pieces should not turn or tarnish and can last for years. 

 

Jewelry care

What affects my jewelry?
Although Gold-filled and sterling silver jewelry is the second most reliable jewelry to solid gold, there are some things that can speed up their aging process. Here is a list of some things to avoid. 
  • Chemicals in soaps, lotions, perfumes, etc.
  • Sweat, a person's individual bodily composition, and acidic levels. Everyone's body is different, some have higher acidic levels than others, and more potent sweat. This is just something to be aware of. 
  • Chlorine in pools and hot tubs.
  • Oxidation, especially on your sterling silver pieces
How can you prolong your jewelrys life?
  • When you aren’t wearing your pieces, seal them in an airtight space to prevent oxidation (ziplock bags work great). 
  • Clean them with gentle soap and water (dawn works). 
  • Polish your pieces with a Sunshine Polishing Cloth (link it)
*Even if you don’t take the best care of your pieces, they’ll still be good to you. Gold filled jewelry is designed for my laziest and busiest ladies. Our pieces are hypoallergenic and shouldn’t affect or irritate your skin.*
