What is Gold Fill Jewelry? "Gold Fill" refers to jewelry that is made by bonding a thin layer of karat gold to a core metal, such as brass. This process creates a durable, high-quality piece that is 5% gold by volume. Unlike gold-plated jewelry, gold fill will not rub off due to the mechanical bonding process.
Benefits of Gold Fill Jewelry: Gold fill is a great alternative to solid gold due to its durability and beauty. It is resistant to tarnishing, rusting, and turning your skin green. Additionally, gold fill is hypoallergenic and rarely irritates sensitive skin, making it a great choice for everyday wear.
Caring for your Gold Fill Jewelry: To ensure the longevity of your gold fill jewelry, it is important to avoid exposure to saltwater, chlorine, sweat, harsh chemicals, and direct contact with products like perfume and lotions. Taking small steps like wiping your jewelry daily with a soft cloth, rinsing it after exercise or exposure to chemicals, and storing it in a dry or air-tight place can help maintain its sheen.
What is Vacuum-Plated 304 Stainless Steel Jewelry? This type of jewelry is made from 304 stainless steel, a high-quality, corrosion-resistant metal that’s known for its strength and durability. It's commonly used in jewelry because it doesn't tarnish, rust, or turn your skin green.
Benefits of Vacuum-Plated 304 Stainless Steel Jewelry: More durable and longer-lasting than traditional gold plating. Hypoallergenic and safe for most skin types. Resistant to fading, scratching, and tarnishing. Offers the look of gold at a more affordable price.
Caring for Your Vacuum-Plated Jewelry: Always remove your pieces before applying perfumes, lotions, hairspray, or using cleaning products, as harsh chemicals can wear down the plating over time. Although stainless steel is water-resistant, the plating will last longer if you avoid wearing your jewelry while swimming, showering, or doing the dishes. Store your pieces in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent scratches, and try to keep them separate from other metals. After wearing, gently wipe your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any oils or residue. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, as they can damage the finish.
What is Gold Plated Jewelry? 18K gold plated jewelry is made by bonding a layer of 18K gold over a base metal through a process called electroplating. This results in jewelry that has the appearance of solid gold but is more affordable. 18k gold plated jewelry does tarnish over time.
Caring for your Gold Plated Jewelry: To care for 18k gold plated jewelry, it is important to follow these tips:
Avoid exposing the jewelry to water, harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and other substances that can cause the gold plating to wear off.
Store the jewelry in a clean, dry place when not in use. Consider storing it in a cloth bag or jewelry box to prevent scratches and tarnishing.
Clean the jewelry regularly using a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Gently wipe the jewelry with the cloth to remove any dirt or oils that may have accumulated.
Avoid wearing the jewelry during activities that may cause it to become scratched or damaged, such as exercising or doing household chores.
By following these care tips, you can help maintain the appearance and longevity of your 18k gold plated jewelry.
