If you are purchasing a piece of costume jewelry, you will need to take extra care to preserve the look of your jewelry. Your jewelry will last a long time if you adhere to the following guidelines.
Do not expose your jewelry to water, harsh household chemicals, hairspray, soap, or oil. Always take jewelry off before applying lotion, perfume, or exposing to any water. If your jewelry becomes wet, immediately pat jewelry dry with a soft cloth or towel. Make sure jewelry is fully dry before putting away. Never wear your jewelry in the pool or ocean. Take off your jewelry before engaging in physical activity or exercise. It is best to store your jewelry in a soft pouch and in a moisture free area.

I use natural gemstones in many of my pieces. Due to the natural variability in color and marbling of these natural stones, the item you receive may not look exactly like the photographed picture. If you have any concerns, please contact me before purchasing.

Gold filled metal is composed of a solid layer of 14 kt gold that is chemically bonded to sterling silver or another metal. Gold filled jewelry contains almost 100% more gold than gold plated jewelry. Your gold filled jewelry is of much higher quality than gold plated jewelry and it will not tarnish with wear. Gold filled jewelry is a more affordable alternative to solid gold.

Gold plated jewelry has a very thin layer of gold covering another type of metal. This thin layer of gold can wear away over time.

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% of another metal. That is why sterling silver metal is stamped with 925. Sterling silver will tarnish, if not worn regularly and/or stored improperly. However, you can easily clean your sterling silver jewelry with a jewelry polishing cloth.

Silver plated jewelry, similar to gold plated jewelry, contains a thin layer of silver over a base metal. If you wear plated jewelry in water or don't care for it properly, the plating will eventually rub off exposing the base metal.

Vermeil is sterling silver that is covered with a layer of gold. The layer of gold is 50 times thicker than the thin layer used in gold plated jewelry, which allows vermeil jewelry to have the same shine and richness as solid gold jewelry. Your vermeil jewelry will not wear down easily. You can care for your vermeil jewelry by using a polishing cloth. Do not use any chemicals meant for cleaning silver or gold jewelry when cleaning your vermeil jewelry.

Rose gold filled metal is produced the same way as gold filled metal, however copper is added to the gold to achieve the pink/rose color.
