What is Gold-Filled?
Gold-filled products are made by mechanically bonding a layer of 14K gold to an underlying base metal of copper. The gold layer on gold-filled products is approximately 25 times thicker than gold-plate as it has been bonded with heat and pressure.

Product Use and Wear Instructions
Gold Filled Care and Cleaning
Clean your gold filled pieces using mild soapy warm water and allow enough time for the piece to dry before wearing it again. Avoid all abrasive or ammonia-based substances (i.e. toothpaste, baking soda) to keep the original finish of your product intact. Jewelry cleaning solutions offer the best results and are especially helpful in cleaning the chain and clasp quickly.
Gold filled jewelry will be affected by water (i.e. wearing while swimming, gardening, washing dishes) as chemical reactions with chlorine and other elements can lead to the piece tarnishing. You can also delay tarnishing by regularly polishing jewelry. Gold filled products are not recommended for those living with diabetes as some medical conditions may cause products to tarnish.
