BENEFITS AND CARE OF YOUR 18CT GOLD FILLED JEWELLERY



Still wondering what engagement or wedding ring to get? Do you like the look of gold but do not want to spend a fortune on buying a ring, especially at this moment?. Well, look no further, we at Accessories of Envy have the answer. Whether, you want a permanent or a temporary solution we can help you. Our range of engagement and wedding 18ct Gold Filled rings does exactly that! Read on for more benefits, facts and care instructions ...

BENEFITS:
Gold filled designs have the advantage of providing excellent long term wear durability of solid gold products without the weight and higher costs. In most cases, a gold filled item can be repaired if damaged or badly scratched. Unlike gold plated products, the thicker cladding used on gold filled items can also be carefully repolished several times
without exposing the underlying base metal.

ADDED BENEFITS:

Nikel Free, Non-Allergic, Not easily tarnished

FACTS
What is the difference between gold filled and gold plated jewellery?
The most important difference is gold layer thickness. Items designated as “gold filled” can be up to 100 times thicker than the heaviest gold plating available today! Gold filled items are created by using heat and pressure to permanently fuse a layer of karat gold over a less costly base metal (such as brass). The layer of gold should equal 1/20th of the total weight of the finished item. The surface layer of karat gold is usually 10kt/ct, 12kt/ct or 14kt/ct. However, for this ring set, 18kt/ct Gold is used for this process. 

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR 18CT GOLD FILLED JEWELLERY:
To ensure your 18ct gold filled jewellery looks as new as the first day you received it, you should take them off when interacting with detergents or harsh chemicals. For example; when washing dishes, cleaning up or swimming. With the proper care, you too can have your gold filled jewellery last well over 75 years like many others who are enjoying the benefits of getting quality and durability without a hefty price tag. So what are you waiting on treat yourself or someone special to one today!

Caring for your Jewellery made with Swarovski Crystals




  1. Inspect you crystal jewellery to ensure that the crystal beads are not loose.
  2. If it is, take it to your jeweller to get it restrung [there should be a knot between each crystal, to prevent them from rubbing against each other and becoming scratched.
  3. Please note that you should try to get your crystal jewellery restrung at least once a year.
  4. You can clean your crystal jewellery with lukewarm water and a clean, soft cotton cloth.
  5. If your jewellery needs extra cleaning, wipe with a soft, cotton cloth which has been dipped in lukewarm water containing gentle detergent.
  6. You can either air dry your crystal jewellery overnight by laying on cotton cloth or wipe it with a dry, soft cotton cloth.
  7. Please remember to put your crystal jewellery on, after the application of hairspray, perfume, body lotion or make up. This will prevent your crystals from losing their shine and help them to keep cleaner for longer!
  8. To prevent further abrasion, remember to store your crystal jewellery in a padded jewellery box [e.g.one which contains sufficient foam inside] and where they are kept separated from other jewellery. Also, ensure there is enough space in the jewellery box to comfortably lay the jewellery.

Caring for your gemstone jewellery

EASY STEPS / CARE
     
  1. Keep each gemstone set in a different compartment of your jewellery cabinet or in separate     jewellery pouches to avoid them rubbing against each other.
  2. Ensure the separate compartments or jewellery pouches are spacious enough to comfortably lay your individual jewellery set. Remember different gemstones have variying levels of hardness and can easily abrase others!
  3. For hard, non-porous gemstones**, you can use a very dilute solution of ammonia and rinse with lukewarm water. Then wipe gently with a lint- free cloth. It's safe to do gentle scrubbing with a soft-bristled toothbrush, on stones harder than quartz (moh's hardness of 7). Be careful not to scrub highly polished metal surfaces, as the slight abrasive action of the brush will produce a slightly hazy effect on the metal. A little soaking may be necessary to remove heavier deposits or alternatively you may need to soak your gemstone jewellery for a short period to remove .Please remember to check your jewellery from time-to-time to ensure the removal of the residual deposits. Then remove from solution as soon as desired effect is attained.
  4.  Pearls, Coral, and soft, delicate, Porous Stones such as Opal, Turquoise, or Malachite should be  kept away from unclean water and oils to avoid discoloration. You can clean these by wiping gently  with a soft, damp cloth. Do not wear your rings containing these stones while washing dishes or carrying out similar activities.
  5. If you are about to apply body or hand lotions, remember to remove your gemstone jewellery before first. This will help prevent buildup of residues, such as, dirt and oil around  your gemstones.
**Non-Porous Gemstones: e.g. gold, platinum, synthetic/created Emerald, Garnet, Moissanite, Peridot, natural Ruby, synthetic/created Ruby, natural Sapphire, synthetic/created Sapphire, Topaz, Tourmaline, Zircon, natural Alexandrite, synthetic/created Alexandrite, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Cubic Zirconia, natural Diamond, synthetic/man-made Diamond

                                                                            

** The cleansers for non porous gemstones can be a little more acidic in nature and are usually cleaned with jewellery cleansers without damaging their material component. They are also the most common gemstones used in jewellery. However, Silver and Porous Gemstones such as Opals, Emeralds, Pearls, Lapis Lazuli, Topaz, Onyx and Amber need a much gentler cleaner (soft damp cloth).

Caring for your jewellery containing sterling silver


Sterling Silver Earrings with White Swarovski Crystals



BRIEF HISTORY
Sterling silver contains copper, which adds hardness to silver. It also creates a tendency for silver jewellry to tarnish. Hence, avoid exposing sterling silver to harsh chemicals such as chlorine, cosmetics, perfume or even hairspray.
STORING
You can store your sterling silver jewelry in tarnish prevention bags or cloths. It is also important to separate your jewellry when storing it so that it does not rub against harder jewellry that could damage it. Use appropriate sized zip lock bags to keep your jewellery sealed and dry if you will not be using then for a suatainable period of time.
CLEANING
You can use Silver Cleaning Solutions which you can buy from your local store e.g. Argos to clean items which entirely contain sterling silver. However, for items like the stunning pair of earrings displayed above which is made of both sterling silver and genuine Swarovski Crystallised Elemets, it would be wise to use a Silver Jewellery Polishing Cloth instead. This way you can ensure that only the areas containing the Sterling Silver gets cleaned, avoiding spillage onto the other areas which are not made of sterling silver e.g.the Swarovski Crystallised Elements.
Hope we have given you a few tips about caring for your Sterling Silver Jewellery
Catch up with you soon!
