14kt Solid Gold

Gold Fill
About the metal
Gold fill is made when a layer of gold is fused to a core of base metal. The gold in gold fill is much thicker than gold plating.
Gold-fill is your best option after solid gold for quality and durability, containing a substantial layer of 14kt gold. It will not flake off or turn your skin green and offers a great solution for people with sensitive skin. Gold-filled jewelry can stay beautiful for a long time, especially with a little extra care.
All of our gold fill is sourced directly in the United States and is 100% nickel-free. This is a great solution for people with sensitive skin.
Care Tips
1. You can use a polishing cloth on gold fill, but it’s best used gently and sparingly. Simply cleaning it with mild soap and water works great too.
2. Gold Fill can last beautifully for many years, however, there are certain factors that can cause the gold to tarnish. Chemicals are in a lot of things, so we recommend avoiding wearing them in pools, hot tubs, and while working out.
3. Certain people's body chemistry and medications can affect the sparkle and longevity of gold fill. This is hard to predict, but 90% of people will never have this problem.
Sterling Silver
About the metal
Sterling silver is considered a precious metal and consists of 92.5% pure silver. The other 7.5% of the alloy is usually copper, which strengthens the silver without compromising its appearance.Â
All of our sterling silver is sourced directly in the United States and is nickel-free. This is a great solution for people with sensitive skin.
Care Tips
1. The more you love and wear your sterling silver the more bright and shiny it stays. Tarnish can occur when sterling silver comes in contact with the oxygen in the air. If you do see some tarnishing, a polishing cloth can brighten it right up.
2. If you are not wearing your sterling silver pieces every day, it is best to store them in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container.
