SHOPPING GUIDE
If you need help choosing a size, we suggest our medium size, which is the most popular among customers.
The brightness and shine of 14K gold are superior to 14K gold filled. However, in wire, the difference is hard to see. Therefore, we use the same image for 14K gold and 14K gold filled variations. For the highest quality, we recommend 14K gold. Nonetheless, 14K gold filled is an excellent, more affordable option.
**Unique Gemstones May Lead to Slight Size and Shape Variances**
Due to the one-of-a-kind nature of these gemstones, the exact size and shape may vary slightly from the images shown. Each gemstone is unique and paired as closely as possible.
If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, we will happily return or exchange it for you, free of charge.
ABOUT MATERIALS
Herkimer Diamonds
Herkimer Diamonds are a type of quartz crystal and should not be confused with actual diamonds. These quartz crystals are transparent, double-terminated (natural points on both ends), and often associated with petroleum or coal deposits in sedimentary rocks. They received their name from the Herkimer region in New York. We source our quartz crystals from the Balochistan Region in Pakistan.
14K Gold
14K gold jewelry is crafted entirely from gold, maintaining its luxurious appeal and enduring value. Unlike gold filled jewelry, which features a layer of gold bonded to a base metal core, solid gold pieces have the precious metal throughout. This purity lends solidity and weight to the jewelry with a rich, unmistakable hue that does not fade or tarnish over time. 14K gold jewelry typically commands a higher price due to its purity and intrinsic value, making it a long-term investment for those seeking the utmost quality and prestige.
14K Gold Filled
14K gold filled jewelry is crafted by bonding a thick layer of 14K gold or 14K rose gold alloy to a base metal core, usually brass or sterling silver. This process creates a durable outer layer with the appearance and characteristics of solid gold. The base metal core provides strength and structure. Unlike gold plating, which involves a thin layer of gold applied to the surface, gold filled jewelry contains a significantly thicker layer of gold, making it more resistant to wear and tear.
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver jewelry is an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This combination enhances the metal's strength and durability while retaining the desirable qualities of silver.
JEWELRY CARE
Store jewelry in a clean, dry place (no humidity). Use a jewelry box with individual compartments or soft pouches to prevent scratching and tangling. Chlorine can damage precious metals, so avoid wearing them in pools and hot tubs. Harsh chemicals like household cleaners and perfumes can tarnish or corrode the metals. Avoid wearing your jewelry during activities that could cause damage, such as gardening, exercising, or doing household chores. A safe way to clean the precious metal and quartz crystal is to use a mild soap and warm water solution with a soft-bristled brush or a clean cloth. Restore shine with a jewelry polishing cloth or mild polishing compound.
