Glass Beaded Jewelry
To clean glass beads, use a mild soap solution. Gently rub the beads with a soft cloth. If cleaning beads on a necklace or bracelet, avoid getting the thread damp to prevent damage.

Leather Jewelry
To care for leather jewelry, keep it dry and avoid exposure to water or harsh chemicals. Gently wipe it with a soft cloth to remove dirt or oils. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading or cracking. Use a leather conditioner occasionally to keep the material soft and supple.

Metal Jewelry
To care for metal jewelry, wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing to remove dirt and oils. Store it in a dry, cool place to prevent tarnishing. For extra shine, clean with a jewelry polish cloth. Avoid exposure to water, perfumes, or harsh chemicals.

My jewelry is gold filled except as noted.

Gold filled jewelry features a solid layer of gold bonded to another metal, making it one of the most durable and tarnish-resistant options available. With proper care, it can last a lifetime without worrying about wear.

Gold coated jewelry has a thin layer of gold applied over a base metal, but it lacks durability and value due to its fragile coating.

Gold plated jewelry involves applying a vaporized layer of gold to a base metal, making it more durable than gold-coated items but still prone to wear over time, requiring replating to maintain its appearance.

Unlike gold coated and gold plated jewelry, gold filled pieces offer long-lasting value and resilience, making them a superior choice for everyday wear.
