JEWELRY TYPES

What Am I Purchasing?

• Gold-filled
  Gold-filled Jewelry is a great alternative to solid gold. It contains a solid gold outside much thicker than gold plated. With proper care, gold-filled jewelry can last as long as solid gold and won't tarnish or rub off!
  Just because it's gold-filled it does not mean it can't tarnish. You can shower and wash your hands in your gold-filled jewelry. But for a longer lifetime I recommend removing if entering a pool or salty water frequently.
  
  
  
• Sterling Silver
  Silver is about 92.5% pure silver with most likely copper as the remaining metals. Sterling Silver can also be considered a precious metal. Sterling silver is stronger than solid silver. It is prone to scratch marks if not treated with care. Tarnishing with sterling silver is caused by chemical reaction. Always properly store and wipe off your jewelry.
