FAQs

We love a good question. If you’re wondering about materials, shipping, or how to keep your jewelry as fresh as the day it arrived—you're in the right place.

The Material Stuff

What even is gold-filled?

Glad you asked. Gold-filled is like the overachiever of the jewelry world—it's a thick layer of real 14k gold (not just a little sprinkle) chemically bonded to a base metal like brass or sterling silver. It’s way more durable than gold-plated, won’t flake off, and gives you the luxe look without the wild price tag.

Will it tarnish or turn my skin green?

No green skin here. Gold-filled is made to last and safe for most sensitive babes. Just treat it with love and it’ll love you back for years.

Is gold-filled the same as solid gold?

Not exactly—but it’s the next best thing. Solid gold is all gold, all the way through. Gold-filled gives you the same shine and feel for a fraction of the cost. Win-win.

Jewelry TLC (aka how to keep it cute)

Can I shower/swim/work out in it?

Technically, yes—but let’s be real. If you accidentally wear your necklace to hot yoga because you thought it was just “gentle stretching” and suddenly you’re dripping in downward dog... she’ll survive, but she might need a little post-workout refresh. 😅

Which brings us to…

How do I clean it?

Easy. Mild soap, warm water, soft cloth. No chemicals, no scrubbing. Just a little spa day for your jewels.
