About Materials and Size Guide
Materials
STERLING SILVER - DURABLE BEAUTIFUL METAL THAT IS MADE UP OF 92.5 SILVER AND 7.5 OTHER METALS (COMMONLY COPPER) . STERLING SILVER DOES TARNISH BUT IS EASILY POLISHED BACK TO NEW .. KEEP DRY AND OUT OF SUN .
14 KT GOLD FILLED - A USA ONLY PRODUCT THAT HAS A STANDARD WHICH REQUIRES IT TO BE COMPRISED OF 5% PURE GOLD BY WEIGHT. THIS REGULATED PROCESS INVOLVES PRESSURE BONDING MULTIPLE LAYERS OF SOLID 14 KT GOLD WITH EXTREME HEAT OVER A CORE OF HIGH QUALITY JEWELERS BRASS.. CREATING AN AWESOME AND AFFORDABLE MEDIUM TO WORK WITH. GOLD FILLED DOES NOT CONTAIN NICKEL AND MOST SENSITIVE PEOPLE CAN WEAR THE GOLD FILL WITHOUT ISSUE. ON VERY RARE OCCASION, I HAVE SEEN PIECES TARNISHED BADLY DUE TO OILS AND ACIDITY OF ONES SKIN.
I CHOOSE NOT TO GOLD PLATE , AS SOME OF THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT THE BEST OPTION DUE TO THE SURFACE FLAKING OFF OR MAY TURN YOUR SKIN GREEN.
I SOMETIMES USE VERMEIL IN A FEW CHARMS .. VERMEIL IS IS A HIGH QUALITY HEAVY PLATING THAT MUST HAVE SILVER AS A BASE AND AT LEAST 10 KT GOLD
WOVEN MATERIAL- A WAXED CORDING THAT IS VERY DURABLE AND HOLDS UP WELL IN OCEAN, SHOWERING AND DAILY WEAR.
