A thick layer of solid 14kt gold that is heat and pressure bonded to a center core of high quality jeweler’s brass. With proper care, 14kt gold fill will last just as long as solid 14kt gold. Gold-filled pieces can still tarnish, but it takes special circumstances for that to happen. Pure gold doesn’t tarnish, so the thick layer of 14kt gold on gold-filled pieces prevents tarnishing.

With proper care, your jewelry will look like new for years to come! Here are some helpful tips and tricks to keep your pieces looking beautiful.

Storage: Store your jewelry in an air-tight container when not being worn. Oxygen, moisture and other chemicals are what will tarnish or dull metals.

If you’re not going to be wearing a piece for a while, don’t leave it sitting out. A small ziploc bag works great!

Chemicals: Although our jewelry is swim, sweat and shower-proof we do recommend avoiding prolonged exposure in chlorine, pools, hot tubs and spas.

Cleaning and polishing: If your jewelry needs polishing or begins to dull or tarnish, don’t worry – it can get back to it’s beautiful, shiny self. We recommend a Sunshine Polishing Cloth, but any jewelry cleaner will work.
