Gold filled layer is an actual layer of gold-pressure bonded to another metal. Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating as gold filled literally has 100% more gold than gold plating. Although a gold filled piece of jewellery is not solid gold, it has the same desirable properties and look of solid gold.

Why choose Gold Filled Jewellery?
• It has longevity and is very durable.
• It is tarnish resistant and will not flake, rub off or change colour.
• It is safe for those with allergies as it is 100% lead free, cadmium free and nickel free.

How to care for Gold Filled Jewellery

• Avoid wearing your jewellery in the ocean or swimming pools, as the salt water and chlorine can cause damage.
• Avoid wearing your jewellery when working out. Exposure to the salt from sweat can cause your pieces to become dull.
• Be mindful that perfume, hairspray and hand lotions may tarnish your gold filled jewellery due to the harsh chemicals they contain.
• Keep your gold filled jewellery as dry as possible and away from pesky humidity! Store it individually. Rubbing it against other jewellery can cause it to lose its sheen.
• Gently wipe your gold filled piece with a jewellery polishing, non-scratch cloth every now and again to promote shine.
• Pick out a nice jewellery stand that you love and use it to organise your jewellery and to ensure they do not tangle up!

STEP ONE

Keep them gunk-free. Cosmetics, sunblock, perfume and hairspray can dramatically dull the lustre, as can your body oils and perspiration. 

Chemicals such as bleach, sulphur and detergents can also erode the gems, leaving them dull.

STEP TWO

Avoid wearing jewellery while swimming (chlorine, fresh or saltwater) or activities involving water.

STEP THREE

Avoid cleaning agents and regularly wipe with a soft, damp cloth after wearing. 

If need be, use clean warm water with a cloth and make sure the metals are dried out afterwards.

STEP FOUR

Store correctly. Get into the habit of storing your jewellery correctly will ensure that it has a long life. 

Keep your jewellery in a soft pouch or soft lined jewellery box.
