WHAT IS GOLD-FILLED?
Gold filled is an actual layer of gold-pressure bonded to another metal. Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating as filled literally has 100% more gold than gold plating. Gold filled is much more valuable and tarnish resistant. It does not flake off, rub off or turn colors. And is safe for people with sensitive skin.
HOW TO CARE FOR GOLD FILLED JEWELRY
Caring for gold filled jewelry is not too much different from caring for other types of fine jewelry. Here are our top tips:
-
Clean your gold filled jewelry regularly using warm water to wash and a soft cloth to pat dry. Never rub it after washing as this can cause discoloring.
-
Avoid wearing your gold filled jewelry in the ocean or swimming pools, as the salt water and chlorine can cause damage.
-
Keep your gold filled jewelry as dry as possible and away from humidity! Make sure you store it individually in an air-tight plastic bag as rubbing it against other jewelry can cause it to lose its sheen.
-
Avoid wearing your gold filled jewelry when cleaning. Exposure to heavy detergents and cleaning agents can be detrimental.
-
Be mindful that perfume, hairspray and hand lotions may tarnish your gold filled jewelry due to the harsh chemicals they contain.
-
Gently wipe your gold filled piece with a jewelry polishing, non-scratch cloth every now and again to promote shine.
