JEWELRY MATERIALS
Our jewelry is made of either 14 Karat Gold Filled (14kgf) or Sterling Silver material, unless otherwise noted in the product description. 14kgf jewelry is composed of a solid layer of gold that is bonded to a base of another metal, such as sterling silver or copper. It is durable, great at keeping its shine and doesn't tarnish, even when worn in the water. 14kgf is way more affordable than 100% 14k gold and is also way more durable and of higher quality than gold plated material.
The best way to clean your jewelry is using warm water, gentle soap and a soft toothbrush. If possible, store jewelry in an airtight container when not in use. Avoid contact with chemicals as much as possible; including cleaning products, hairspray, lotion, perfumes, etcetera.
