Question: What are some care tips to extend the life of my gold plated jewelry?

Gold plating on sterling silver offers the beauty of gold with the durability and affordability of silver. The quality of my gold plating is excellent and shows impressive resistance over time. However, maintaining its appearance and longevity depends on several factors.
While earrings typically don't face significant wear since they don’t frequently contact hard surfaces, other jewelry like rings and bracelets tend to wear faster due to constant contact and friction. Exposure to moisture, chemicals, and air pollutants can also accelerate tarnishing of the underlying silver if the gold layer wears off.

To extend the life of your gold-plated jewelry, follow these care tips:

- **Avoid Harsh Chemicals**: Keep your jewelry away from lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and household cleaning products.
- **Store Properly**: Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place. Use a jewelry box or pouch to minimize air exposure.
- **Keep Dry**: Avoid wearing your jewelry while swimming, showering, or exercising to prevent moisture-related tarnishing.

By following these tips and taking good care of your gold-plated jewelry, you can maintain its beauty and enjoy it for years to come.

Question: Do you offer a gift wrapping;

Yes, I offer gift wrapping.

All my jewelry comes to you securely packaged and gift boxed including a gift box with bow and pouch, perfect for gift giving.

If you're sending a gift directly to the recipient, it's a good idea to contact me and let me know so a note can be included so they know who sent them the gift. I can also write a short message, but I can't send long messages.

 

Question: What are the properties of gemstones and crystals, and is there a guarantee of the results?

Properties and Meanings of Gemstones.
Throughout the centuries, various properties have been attributed to gemstones.
There are many books that refer to the properties of gemstones and crystals. My store offers a general idea, derived from popular books and media, about the significance of gemstones and crystals. The fact that a crystal or gemstone is considered to have one or more healing properties, whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, does not necessarily mean that you will experience the results or benefit from these properties. And certainly, this information does NOT substitute for medical advice and does not promise specific results.
