Please note that our warranty doesn't cover items that were broken with force, such as accidentally pulling on the chain and breaking it.

Our warranty also does not cover items that have been damaged due to improper care. Our gold filled items are sensitive to chemicals such as lotions, hand sanitizers, perfumes and excessive moisture (such as pool water, beach water, or showering daily with your jewelry on) and constant application of these things can cause damage to your gold filled items.

Most of our jewelry is made of 14k gold filled, 18k gold filled, gold overlay, and sterling silver. They are high quality and can last a lifetime with proper care! We do carry some gold plated items. These items will be indicated in the description.
- WHAT IS GOLD FILLED? Gold filled is an actual layer of real gold that has been bonded to another metal with high heat and pressure. Our 18k Brazilian gold filled has a slightly lower percentage of gold than our 14k US made gold filled which makes it more affordable than 14k US made gold filled. 18k Brazilian gold filled is also more sensitive to lotions, soaps, skin PH, etc. So if you have sensitive skin this piece may cause a reaction but in very rare cases. Our US made 14k gold filled has a much longer lifespan than our 18k Brazilian gold filled.
- WHAT IS GOLD OVERLAY? Our Gold Overlay jewelry is produced by applying gold onto the surface of a high quality brass and utilizing an advanced acid gold Electro-Depositing process. Unlike basic gold plated jewelry, Gold Overlay jewelry may be worn all the time. It has on average 5-7 times the thickness of most gold plated jewelry. Unlike basic gold plated jewelry, jewelry that is finished with an acid gold application has excellent long term wearing qualities comparable to gold filled jewelry.
- WHAT IS GOLD PLATING? Gold plating is a method of depositing a thin layer of gold onto the surface of another metal, most often copper or silver, by chemical or electrochemical plating. Gold plating can last a number of years with proper care.
- DOES OUR JEWELRY CONTAIN NICKEL? No, our gold filled and sterling silver jewelry does not have nickel and is hypoallergenic, meaning that anyone with metal allergies can wear them!
