Metals used: Gold-filled silver vs Gold-plated:
Gold-filled metal and chain is a great and economical alternative to solid gold jewelry. Gold-filled jewelry is much more valuable and durable than gold-plated. There is almost 200 percent more gold in gold-filled items than is found in gold-plated items. Just as gold-plated jewelry is plated with gold, gold-filled jewelry is as well, but there is a big difference between the ways these products are made. Gold-filled items have a much thicker layer of gold on them, and the gold is a much higher quality. In fact, it is just a step down from solid gold when it comes to quality and value. It does not flake off, rub, or turn colors. Anyone who can wear gold can wear gold-filled without worries of any allergic reaction.
Jewelry Care
Each piece is handmade. Due to the nature of fine jewelry and gemstones, each piece should be handled with care. We highly suggest talking off your jewelry before any rough handwork and before showering, ensuring and preserving the quality of each piece. Please note ALL opal pieces must be taken off when in water, to preserve the quality, as these are naturally a soft stone. For all solid and gold-filled jewelry, simply wash with lightly sudsy water whenever needed.
Sizing
All ring sizes are in US sizes. Please know the correct size prior to ordering as many of the rings cannot be re-sized. All necklace, bracelet and anklet sizes will be noted on product description.
