Aqua Green Bee stud earrings

Gold filled jewelry has 100x more gold alloy than gold plated and because that layer is so much thicker, it means gold-filled jewelry lasts longer and stands up to wear and tear.

Gold Plated jewelry is coated with a layer of real gold and in some items, this layer can be quite thick. Its luster and shine can dress up any ensemble, and its price tag is unbeatable.

Gold filled jewelry Avoid wearing your gold filled jewelry in the ocean or swimming pools, as the salt water and chlorine can cause damage. Keep jewelry as dry as possible and away from pesky humidity! Gently wipe your gold filled piece with a jewelry polishing, non-scratch cloth every now and again to promote shine.

Gold plated jewelry Make sure your hands are free of lotions, make-up, and soil before handling gold-plated pieces. Do not apply make-up, perfume, or hairspray while wearing gold-plated jewelry. Do not swim in chlorinated or salt-water pools while wearing gold-plated jewelry.
