Jewelry Care

How to Care for your Jewelry:
Our mission is to ensure you're happy with your jewelry. From the day it arrives at your door and years to come. 

Care Instructions


* Take off the jewelry if you plan to get wet such as going to the beach, pool, shower, bath, spa etc.
* Remove the jewelry before going to sleep, exercise or if you plan to do any physically strenuous activities. This is to avoid any unnecessary wear and tear.
* Put on the jewelry last, only after you apply any make-up, skin care products, perfume, hairspray, etc.
* Avoid contact with any harsh chemicals such as household cleaners, acid, alkali, corrosive substances, etc. This includes not using any chemical jewelry cleaners.
* Wipe down your jewelry with a soft, lint-free polishing cloth and store in a sealed bag or box in a cool dry place.

 

 

 

Materials:
We offer an array of materials in our line. Please see materials list below:
What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is regarded as a diamond alternative, with some optical properties exceeding those of diamond. It is marketed as a lower price alternative to diamond that also claims less exploitative mining practices. Because of its hardness 9.25 mohs, it can be used, as a replacement for diamonds.

 

All Moissanite stones are AAA grade with hand setting. They won't fall out.

What is 14K Gold? 

14-karat gold is made by mixing pure gold with copper, nickel, zinc, etc. These non-gold metals are added to make the alloy more durable than pure gold, which is very soft.

It is very easy to arrive at a percentage for the gold content in a 14K piece: Just divide the karat number of the item (in our case, 14) by 24, which is the maximum karat possible, and you get 58.3%, which is how much gold 14K jewelry contains.

14K Gold Stamps

To find out if a gold piece is 14 karats, look for stamps on it that denote its purity.

The most often used markings are 14K, 14kt, or a similar variation (you might also see a mark reading 14ct).

Sometimes, karat is expressed as a percentage or parts per thousand. Therefore, if you see a stamp that reads 583 or a similar number indicating 58.3% gold content (sometimes, you can see the number 585), this also means that the piece is 14 karats.

14K Gold vs. 18K, 20K, and 22K Gold

Compared with gold jewelry with a higher karat, 14K gold contains more non-gold metals as a percentage of its total weight.

14K Gold vs. 18K, 20K, and 22K Gold

Compared with gold jewelry with a higher karat, 14K gold contains more non-gold metals as a percentage of its total weight.

As a result, 14-karat items are harder and more durable. 18K, 20K, and 22K pieces, on the other hand, contain more gold and are therefore purer and softer. This is why such items tend to scratch, wear down, bend, and break more easily.

Nickel-containing 18K, 20K, and 22K jewelry has an advantage over 14K pieces made with the same metal: Purer items contain less of it (percentage-wise) and are therefore less likely to cause an allergic reaction if you are prone to it.

14K Gold vs. 10K Gold

14K jewelry has a more intense gold color compared with lower-karat items. However, 10K pieces are harder, so if you are after durability, keep this in mind.

One thing to note is that 10-karat jewelry that contains nickel is more likely to give you a rash. So, if you have an allergy to the metal, 10K gold is not recommended.

14K gold made with nickel is less likely to trigger an allergic reaction, but there are no guarantees until you try a particular piece out

 

W H A T ∙ I S ∙ STAINLESS STEEL?
What is Stainless steel, is known as Surgical steel which has unique characteristics, due uniqueness it has finally come to be a hit in today’s market. It is a material that in its original color (silver) does not degrade or rust ever, it is guaranteed for life, it is bright and attractive, durable and easy to clean.

When Stainless steel has been plated in gold or any other color it lasts a long time but not forever like in its original color. When plated with gold stainless will last a long time if cared for properly.

W H A T ∙ I S  ∙ G O L D ∙ PLATING ?

 

Gold Plated jewelry is the best option for wearers who are jewelry obsessed but need to stay in a budget (pretty much everyone out there). It gives the impression of luxury while not causing you to break the bank every time you see a cute, trendy necklace or bracelet. Gold plated jewelry is made by using electricity or chemicals to deposit and bond a very thin layer of gold over another metal. This process creates a layer as thin as 1/1000 to 3/1000 of an inch of gold over a more affordable metal, usually silver or copper.

The downside of gold plating is that the gold layer fades and can tarnish over time. The reason being that molecules of the base metals slowly transfer into the thin layer of gold causing it to break down. With proper care and proper storage Gold Plating can last for years.
