Our gold-filled jewelry is a high-quality, durable alternative to solid gold. It consists of a thick layer of real gold bonded to a base of brass or stainless steel through a process of heat and pressure. Unlike gold plating, which has a thin layer that can wear off over time, gold-filled jewelry has a much more substantial gold layer, making it resistant to tarnishing, fading, or flaking with proper care. It offers the look and feel of solid gold at a more affordable price, making it popular for long-lasting, elegant pieces.

Caring for gold-filled jewelry properly can help maintain its beauty and prolong its lifespan. Here are some key tips to keep your gold-filled pieces looking their best:

1. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

• Keep your gold-filled jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, and household cleaning agents, as these can cause the gold layer to degrade over time.
• Remove jewelry before swimming in pools or hot tubs and avoid wearing it while using strong cleaning products.

2. Clean Regularly

• Clean your gold-filled jewelry gently with mild soap and warm water. You can use a soft cloth or a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean intricate details.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing tools, as these can scratch the gold surface.
• After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

3. Store Properly

• Store your gold-filled jewelry in a soft pouch, individual compartments, or a jewelry box to prevent it from rubbing against other items, which could cause scratches.

4. Limit Exposure to Sweat and Lotions

• Remove your jewelry before applying lotions, perfumes, and other cosmetics. These substances can dull the surface of gold-filled jewelry over time.

5. Polish Occasionally

• Use a soft polishing cloth designed for gold or jewelry to gently buff your gold-filled pieces and restore their shine.
• Avoid using harsh polishing compounds that are too abrasive.

With proper care, gold-filled jewelry can last for many years, retaining its vibrant appearance and resistance to tarnishing.
