To preserve the gold luster, wipe carefully with a soft tissue containing no chemicals. Do no take shower or bath. Salt and sand from seawater will also damage your jewels, so make sure you take them out.
Ceramic jewels are fragile and can break, so be gentle and they will last forever.
What is Gold filled?
Gold filled (also known as rolled gold) comprises a solid brass (copper and zinc) core over which gold is mechanically bonded using heat and pressure. Gold filled items must contain, by law, 5% or 1/20 of gold by weight. All our gold filled findings are 14K.
Does Gold filled tarnish?
Many people think that gold and gold filled does not tarnish. Unfortunately, this is wrong. Pure gold (24k gold) does not tarnish because it is not alloyed (mixed) with other metals, but all other karats of gold are alloyed with other metals and this is why tarnishing may occur. The higher the karat of gold, the less likely it is to discolor (tarnish). Under normal storage conditions, very little tarnishing will be observed in 14K gold, and it may take years before discoloration occurs. The most common causes of tarnishing are: oxidation, exposure to sulfur, differing body chemistries and exposure to perfume, hairspray, cleaning agents etc. Taking care of your jewelry and proper storage are the best methods to avoid tarnishing. It is important to note that many cardboard jewelry boxes and tissue papers used to wrap jewelry can contain chemicals which will rapidly accelerate the tarnishing process - we recommend using anti-tarnish bags or anti-tarnish squares at all times to avoid disappointment.
