MATERIALS & CARE
GOLD FILL
Gold Fill contains 5% solid gold which is bonded through pressure and heat onto a base layer which is usually sterling silver or brass, to form a thick and durable layer of solid gold. This layer of gold is 100x thicker than on 'gold plated' materials.
This means that it is the best affordable option to solid gold.
Gold Fill is hypoallergenic and sensitive-skin friendly.
CARE GUIDE:
- Gold Fill is safe to wear in water.
- Use a polishing cloth to remove dirt and retain shine.
- Avoid exposing your jewellery to harsh chemicals.
- Store in your Via Marie pouch to avoid scratches against other jewellery.
STERLING SILVER
Sterling silver is an alloy of silver and contains 92.5% of silver and 7.5% of other metals. Pure silver is too soft to be used on its own, so it is mixed with other metals to make it stronger and able to hold its shape.
CARE GUIDE:
- Sterling Silver is safe to wear in water.
- Use a silver polish cloth to clean and retain the brightness and shine of your jewellery.
- Avoid exposing your jewellery to harsh chemicals.
- Store in your Via Marie pouch to avoid scratches against other jewellery.
