14kt gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating as filled has 100% more gold and is much more valuable and resistant to tarnish. the core metal is jewelers’ brass. on top of the brass is a thick layer of 14kt gold pressure bonded to the brass. 14kt gold filled has the same appearance as high carat gold because it is legally required to contain 5% or 1/20 gold by weight.

gold filled or sterling silver: to keep your piece in the best shape, we encourage you to remove your jewelry while showering. however, we personally wash our hands and shower in our pieces with no issues. if you choose to do so, use gentle soap, rinse thoroughly, dry thoroughly and do not allow contact with lotions or perfumes.

gold plated or rhodium plated: we do not recommend getting either of these wet.

our jewelry is nickel free.

because we do not engrave our pieces, rather, we hand stamp each individual characters one by one with a steel stamp and hammer, we do not stamp the back of our pieces.
