GOLD-PLATED JEWELRY

Most styles are gold plated brass. We double plate these styles in 14K gold plating. Our gold plated jewelry should hold it’s color for years with proper care (see below).

 

GOLD-FILLED CHAIN

Select styles are made with gold-filled chain. Gold filled jewelry is composed of a number of layers wherein a gold alloy is permanently bonded to the brass core with heat and pressure. Because of the more permanent nature of gold filled jewelry, this category tends to be slightly more expensive than gold plated or gold vermeil jewelry but should not be confused with solid gold jewelry.

 

JEWELRY CARE

Here’s a list of tips to help prolong the life of your gold plated and gold filled pieces

  • Avoid getting any fragrance on your jewelry. Put on jewelry after you've sprayed perfume to avoid it interacting with the metal.
  • Wait to put your jewelry on until your moisturizer is absorbed.
  • Do not wear your gold plated jewelry while exercising, swimming or showering.
  • Wipe your jewelry gently after wearing it with a very soft cloth or cotton ball to remove buildup of dust or dirt.
  • If possible, keep it stored in the fabric pouch it is shipped in to extend its life and reduce premature tarnishing or fading.
