What is 14k Gold Filled? 

14k Gold Filled jewelry contains more gold than gold-plated jewelry and is considered to be the next best thing to "solid gold." Gold filled jewelry wears like solid gold because it is composed of a solid layer of gold fused with other metal alloys. Gold filled pieces offers all the same physical characteristics as solid gold such as beauty, durability, and strength, but at a fraction of the cost. With proper and reasonable care, gold filled jewelry can last for years to come.

Please remember that just about everything that touches gold could have an effect on its outer appearance as well as oxidation. It is important to regularly clean gold filled jewelry with our Sunshine Polishing Cloth or an appropriate gold polishing cloth (read manufacturer's label).

• Budget friendly compared to "solid gold"
• Higher quality than gold-plated jewelry
• Durable and long-lasting
• Able to be worn in water

What is Argentium Sterling Silver 925?

Argentium Silver is a modern sterling silver that contains more germanium than traditional alloys. More germanium allows for agerntium silver to be highly tarnish-resistant and purer than sterling silver. If your jewelry does tarnish, you can simply clean the silver with our Sunshine Polishing Cloth or an appropriate silver polishing cloth (read manufacturer's label). 

• Brighter than platinum, white gold and traditional sterling silver
• Longer lasting shine: low maintenance, easy to care for and simple to clean
