Materials + Jewelry Care

Materials 
Most of our jewelry is made with gold-filled and high quality gold-plated chains, charms, and closures.
Each product page will have information on the materials used. 
Our pearl necklaces are made with freshwater pearls.
We try to use the highest quality gemstones.
What is gold-filled?
Gold-filled jewelry is jewelry composed of a solid layer of gold (typically constituting at least 5% of the item's total weight) mechanically bonded to a base of either sterling silver or some base metal.
Gold-filled pieces are generally more durable than gold-plated due to the thicker layer of gold alloy. The longevity of either type is dependent on the wear, environment, and quality of the piece. As long as the piece is well cared for, gold-filled jewelry can last a lifetime.
 
Jewelry Care
Follow our care instructions to prolong the life of your jewelry.
  • Keep away from moisture. Remove before entering water.
  • Apply perfumes and lotions before wearing your jewelry.
  • We recommend storing your jewelry in the jewelry box that it arrives in to avoid scratching and tarnishing. Any jewelry box of any kind or small plastic bag are fine for storage.
