5 out of 5 starsI've ordered several of these delta necklaces in the past, both for me and my friends, and we all loved them! Recently bought one again as a present for someone. This is honestly my favorite necklace; once I have it on, I usually don't take it off for months. I have the rose gold, and it's not overly pink so it matches well with most things. I've had mine for around five years now and never had a problem with color changing or rusting! Joanne provides excellent customer service and was even kind enough to fix the clasp on my necklace when it broke recently! Thank you again!!

1 out of 5 starsI paid extra to have this item delivered early. I contacted the shop owner twice when the item didn’t ship on time. I never heard from the owner once. Thankfully Etsy refunded my order.

1 out of 5 starsUnfortunately I can't recommend this seller. Poor communication (sometimes no response to messages) and the items took far too long to arrive, much longer than is stated in the shop's policy. I ordered my items on the 12th of November, 2018 and didn't receive them until the 21st of March, 2019. The waiting would not have been an issue if there had been clear communication from the seller.

Is gold-filled the same as gold plate?
No, gold plating is a minuscule layer of solid gold applied to a brass base. The plating does not compose any measurable proportion of the product’s total weight. It is estimated to be 0.05% or less of the metal product. Gold plating will wear off rather quickly and expose the brass base product. It does not stand up to heat, water or wear over time. By comparison, gold-filled contains 5% gold by weight; moreover, all the gold is on the surface which offers product protection from tarnish and wear.
Can gold-filled tarnish? How can I care for my jewelry?
Yes it can, but it takes a rare set of circumstances. Gold-filled is usually a lifetime product because the gold layer bonded to the brass core is quite thick. However, in rare instances of extreme sulfide exposure the gold-filled can blacken. This has only occurred a handful of times over our decades of gold-filled use. Foreign transit through extremely polluted shipping docks in a few countries has caused the product to blacken on several occasions. The only domestic cases we have had were products stored in nail salons with high levels of chemical sulfide fumes and due to a fire where the structure was filled with smoke and all the gold-filled in the building turned black. These are extreme conditions that are unlikely to happen to most
Why does my sterling silver tarnish?
Cardboard, paper and certain dyes leach fumes that damage silver. Moisture is also a factor. Silver should be stored in a zip-seal bag in a wooden, stone or plastic box somewhere other than your bathroom. To protect it from perfumes and lotions, make it the last thing you put on in the morning, and the first thing you take off at night. If it is a piece you don't wear daily, wipe it down with a soft dry cloth before storing it to remove any body oils. Also be aware that things like rubber and latex will actually burn your silver, even through several layers of plastic, so keep them as far apart from each other as possible.
