Jewelry Materials and Care
-JB designs are dainty and delicate and can be fragile. Handle with care when removing tape from the back of the card.
-14k Gold Filled items: This is the best option if you don't want 14k solid gold, but still want excellent quality. It has a thicker layer of solid gold over a base metal and is much more durable than gold plating. It has a longer-lasting finish compared to plating. Since this is not 14k solid gold, slight dulling can be noticeable after heavy wear and constant exposure to sprays, perfumes, etc, but not as quickly as plated. To clean, use a mild jewelry cleaner.
-14k Gold Dipped: Heavy gold plating (.5-1%) over a base. All JBD jewelry uses a 925 sterling silver base. This ensures higher quality than plating over brass, and is hypoallergenic. It's perfect for those with sensitive skin. Gold dipped is a little more expensive and better quality than traditional gold plated jewelry. To extend the life of this jewelry, remove before swimming, showering and exercising. Keep away from lotions and sprays.
-Gold Plated: This is the least expensive option, which allows for more affordable styles. It is a thin layer of gold applied to the surface of a base metal such as brass or copper. It will "turn" if exposed to water, lotions, sprays, perfumes, etc. and should be removed before showering, swimming or exercising. Store in a cool, dry place. If tarnished, try cleaning with a mix of lemon juice and baking soda or a mild jewelry cleaner. Rinse quickly and dry immediately.
-Stainless Steel: This is an exceptionally durable option and does not easily tarnish. It can withstand everyday wear and exposure to moisture without losing its shine! It's hypo allergenic and water resistant- and better yet, an affordable option for great quality! Easily cleans with mild soap and water.
