The standard measurement of gold is the Karat. Learn More |

| Metal Care When it comes to caring for your metal, it's important to remember that every metal is different. While little maintenance is needed for durable metals such as tungsten, other metals require some attention. For instance, platinum is a strong metal but is susceptible to scratches. Getting your platinum buffed every six months is recommended. You can also remove build-up with jewelry clearner or mild soap and water. Also, silver is prone to tarnishing. Regular polishing is a simple way to solve this. The jewelry we offer is sterling silver, which consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy. Sterling silver is damaged less easily than regular silver. Gold is another metal that needs gentle care. Soap film easily builds on the surface of gold, so it's best to remove your gold jewelry before showering or using household cleaners or chemicals. Chlorine has also been known weaken gold, causing it to break more easily. Placing your gold jewelry in a solution containing a few drops of ammonia, mild detergent and warm water will bring back its shine. Rubbing alcohol can also be used to remove grease and body oil from gold jewelry. |
