Gold Fill + Care

About Gold Fill:

Gold-fill jewelry is a superior option compared to gold-plated and vermeil jewelry, which tend to fade and cause skin discoloration. By law, gold-filled jewelry must consist of 5% gold by weight, as opposed to the mere 0.05% layer present in plated jewelry. It provides an affordable alternative to solid gold while exhibiting its signature warm yellow tone. Its value is greater than that of gold-plated jewelry since gold-filled jewelry features a genuine karat gold layer, as opposed to a mere microscopic film. The karat gold covering significantly enhances the base metal substrate's tarnish-resistance, and with proper care, it can last just as long as solid gold without tarnishing or rubbing off.

Care Instructions:

14K Gold Fill and Sterling Silver jewelry are generally water-resistant and can withstand exposure to water. However, it is important to note that prolonged exposure to saltwater can cause some wear and tear on the metal over time.

To keep your jewelry looking its best, we recommend avoiding harsh chemicals, oils, beauty products, makeup, and cleaners, as well as refraining from spraying chemicals or perfumes directly onto your jewelry. After ocean dips, it is always recommended to rinse your jewelry with freshwater to remove any salt or residue. Once rinsed, pat dry your jewelry with a lint-free linen cloth to prevent any water spots or damage. By following these steps, you can help maintain the quality and appearance of your 14K Gold Fill and Sterling Silver jewelry for years to come.
