About Our Jewelry
What Does "Gold Filled" Mean?
“Gold Filled” Jewelry contains literally 100% more gold than plated pieces. Gold plating is paper thin and often chips or wears through revealing the metal base underneath. In contrast, the thick gold layer on gold filled pieces is securely bonded to it’s core, ensuring that your jewelry remains in pristine condition for many years of regular wear.
About Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver is a metal that has bene used to make all kinds of valuable goods for thousands of years. Pure silver is soft and malleable, so the alloy Sterling Silver was created to be a bit more durable. It consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper, and is the standard metal used to make fine silver jewelry.
What is Tarnish?
Tarnish is simply the build up of corrosion that happens to most metals when they are exposed to air and moisture. Think of the rust that forms on bridges, or that bike you left in your backyard during a rainstorm. That “rusty” layer is ugly, but the good news is it can easily be cleaned! In fact, all jewelry needs to be cleaned at some point. Simply use a jewelry cloth or a jewelry cleaning solution, and your jewelry will look brand new!
