What is gold-filled jewelry?
Why should I buy gold-filled jewelry?
Essentially, gold-filled jewelry is the best of both worlds. This type of jewelry gives you the option of owning and wearing high-quality, every day “gold” jewelry… without the exorbitant price tag that comes with solid gold.
Does gold-filled jewelry actually contain real gold?
14k gold-filled jewelry means that 5% of its weight is solid gold. So yes, there is real gold in your jewelry! Unlike gold-plated jewelry (which contains only .05% of real gold), gold-filled jewelry has gone through an extensive process using heat in which the 5% of solid gold is securely bonded around a base metal (usually brass). Because of this process, it feels and looks like real gold.
Can I wear my gold-filled jewelry 24/7?
Short answer, yes! If taken care of properly, your jewelry has the potential to last a lifetime! We want you to wear your 14k gold-filled jewelry with confidence knowing that it won’t chip, tarnish, or fade after a few uses. This jewelry is hearty and strong, meant to keep up with your daily life.
Will my gold-filled jewelry tarnish or fade?
Just like anything else we use frequently, it must be taken care of in order to keep its quality. That being said, there are a few things to be cautious around: perfumes, harsh chemicals like chlorine, sunscreen, salt water, and sweat are a few of them. If your jewelry is exposed to these things on a regular basis with no cleaning, your jewelry will tarnish quicker than intended.
How do I take care of my gold-filled jewelry?
Gently washing your jewelry with warm water and Dawn soap will make sure it stays shiny and clean. If you’re around harsh chemicals regularly, be sure to clean your jewelry often. If you are not wearing it, keep it stored in a clean, soft, air-tight place until you wear it next.
