Gold filled is a layer of real gold, pressure bonded to a base metal, typically a jewelers' brass. The outer layer is 14k gold, it looks and feels just like a solid-gold piece of jewelry. Gold filled jewelry is hypoallergenic, tarnish and scratch resistant and on average, will last 30 years+ depending on how it’s taken care of.
Your gold filled jewelry will last for years to come! To ensure it's continued beauty, follow these best practices:
1. Avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine. Remove before taking a dip in the pool, hot tub or sauna.
2. Take care when applying lotions, sunscreen, hairspray, shampoo, makeup, etc. These chemicals can be damaging to fine jewelry.
3. Store your jewelry in an airtight container or a ziplock.
4. Clean with mild soap and water. Pat dry. Use a micro fiber cloth or lens cloth (avoid bath towels, shirts or tissues) to remove any oxidation marks. Softly buff until the shine has been restored. Occasionally, remove chemicals and skin oils by rinsing with warm water and patting dry with a soft cloth or microfiber fabric.
Worn next to your skin, the solid rosewood beads will absorb your natural body oils, skincare products, perfume, sunscreen, hairspray, etc. We recommend taking your bracelets off until products are absorbed. The solid rosewood beads will darken with age, enjoy the changing beauty!
