PRODUCT INFORMATION AND CARE & CLEANING OF SEA GLASS JEWELRY
My sea glass jewelry is made with only Top Quality,natural, unaltered sea glass. Sea Glass is glass and should be handled with care. Glass could break or chip if dropped or mishandled. Although I would like to think it is pretty durable, please handle with care.
My sea glass jewelry has been made hand made with Fine Silver, or hand wrapped with 92.5 sterling silver wire, Argentium Sterling Silver (tarnish resistant) wire or 14k rolled gold also known as gold filled wire. Chain selections vary so please read descriptions in chain optons carefully when selecting the right chain for you. To keep your jewelry looking new, wipe gently after being worn with a soft jewelry cleaning cloth and keep your jewelry in a zip lock baggie and even better put the baggie in a plastic air tight container. It's amazing how your jewelry will stay cleaner longer .
There are many cleaning products for sterling silver and gold filled jewelry. I recommend for GF & silver wire Sunshine Cleaning Cloths. There are pastes, and professional jewelry cleaning machines (ionic) are available. I have found that Fine Silver, Sterling Silver, Argentium Sterling Silver and Gold filled pendants clean beautifully in an ionic jewelry cleaner or jewelry tumbler. Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Follow directions on labels of all cleaning products. The glass itself cleans very nicely with a mild liquid dish detergent.
Do not let your silver get too tarnished because it will be all the more difficult to restore it to its' original luster. Do not wear sterling silver or gold filled jewelry in the shower, swimming, hot tub or to bed. Always put your jewelry on last. After both hairspray and or perfume has been used.
Product info regarding GF products: Gold filled has the beautiful, rich look of gold at a fraction of the cost. It will not chip or peel like gold plate. Gold-filled describes when a layer of gold is mechanically bonded with heat and pressure to one or more surfaces of the supporting base metal, then rolled or drawn to a given thickness. In the jewelry industry the quantity of gold must be at least 1/20th by weight of the total product. Under FTC regulations, a product may be marked as 14, 12 or 10kt gold-filled. Karat measurement of the gold content must be part of the marking or designation. So when you see 14k/20 that means it is 14k gold comprising 1/20 of the weight. Gold-filled items will remain gold for a lifetime if cared for properly. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives on your gold filled jewelry.
