Jewelry Care
Gold Filled / Gold Plated Jewelry
Gold filled jewelry is composed of a layer of gold pressure bonded to another metal. It is a quality alternative for solid gold and it has more gold than gold plated jewelry.
Gold plated jewelry is composed of a thin layer of gold over a base metal. It requires more care than gold filled jewelry.
To preserve the gold color on your jewelry as long as possible,
- Keep jewelry clean and dry.
- Wait until your perfume, lotion, or cream is dry before wearing the jewelry.
- Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, exercise, etc. The chemicals will react with the color of the jewelry and will cause the jewelry to tarnish quickly.
- Gently clean jewelry with a soft cloth or cotton ball. (DO NOT clean with water. DO NOT dry with paper towel.)
- Place the jewelry in a cotton/velvet pouch or jewelry box to avoid scratches, tarnishing, chipping, knots in chains and breakage.
