DO I HAVE A JEWELRY ALLERGY?

Some people have allergic reactions to some plating. The most common is nickel-plating- possibly up to 10% of people react to nickel.

HOW TO CLEAN MY JEWLLERY?

Most of our jewellery is gold plating, so the best way to clean your jewellery is using a soft jewellery cloth or a cotton ball to help restore the finishing. Please do not use a polishing cloth as this will strip away the plating. For further cleaning, your most-worn jewellery should be deep cleaned in a combination of warm water and detergent-free soap. Please do not use any anti-bacterial soap, as this contains chemicals that would ruin the gold-plating. The best way to store your jewellery is to keep gold plated pieces separate to silver ones, and stored in a cool dry place.

WHAT IS STAINLESS STEEL?

Stainless steel jewellery - An alloy of iron with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content. Chromium produces a thin layer of oxide on the surface of the steel known as the “passive layer”. Stainless steels are a popular jewellery material, as it has an increased resistance to corrosion.

GOLD PLATED VS GOLD FILLED

Gold filled jewllery – These items are not actually filled with gold. The core metal (normally brass or copper) is then covered by sheets of gold in a mechanical bonding process. The gold content is 5% or 1/20 of the total weight. Gold filled products can be easily maintained and will keep their golden shine for a long time.

Gold-plated Jewelry – The items that have gold plating, have a thin layer of gold on the surface of another metal (normally brass base). Since the plating is quite thin, the plate will be susceptible to tarnishing over time, so for a longer wear, it will need to be polished frequently to keep its shine. Gold plated jewellery can handle the abuse of everyday wear, as it is strong and durable. However, It is subject to color loss, quicker and easier than gold filled.

WHAT IS 14K?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 14K & 18K GOLD?

14k gold is composed of 58.5% gold and other metals. 18k gold is composed of 75% gold, which is alloyed with other metals to make it strong enough for everyday wear. 18K gold is less likely to tarnish but will be affected by every-day use as it contains more pure gold content.
