Edith Earrings – Silver

Hollow

The primary metals they use are Sterling Silver, 14k Gold Filled and some limited pieces in 14k Gold. While creating quality pieces is of the highest importance to them, Sterling Silver and Gold Filled are not solid metals and therefore do require a certain level of care to be maintained. Below, they outline the differences between these metals and how they can be cared for:

Sterling silver is an alloy containing metals that react with chemicals found in air and produce tarnish; high moisture levels, exposure to sunlight and contaminants such as salt water increase this reaction. Take steps to protect sterling silver by keeping it in airtight packages, use tarnish-resistant products (such as tarnish tabs or strips) that absorb harmful chemicals, and store sterling in a cool, dry place. Most tarnish is easily removed by polishing with a mild abrasive or soaking in an anti-tarnish solution.

Gold Filled is a layered material constructed in two or three layers. The core metal is jewelers' brass; the 14k gold alloy is bonded to one or both surfaces of the brass core with heat and pressure. Gold Filled jewelry is legally required to be 5% by weight; this is significantly higher than plated jewelry, however, this is still a relatively thin layer of 14k gold and if not cared for properly can eventually wear off to reveal the brass. Gold Filled delivers karat gold at a more affordable cost than solid gold but is important to note the distinction that it is not solid 14k Gold. Due to the nature of how Gold Filled is produced, there may be some minor variation in tone between pieces.

For both Sterling and Gold Filled, they recommend storing them in an air tight packaging. The more they are worn and exposed to chemicals the quicker they can tarnish and wear. There are many factors that play into this; the weather (is it humid or dry), are the pieces touching the skin or being worn over a shirt, the environment, one's PH balance etc. These conditions vary greatly from person to person and place to place, so there isn't always a one size fits all answer but they always recommend not wearing your pieces in the water, for work outs, to bed etc. Generally, the more gentle you are with your pieces, the longer they will remain looking fresh. To remove tarnish you will need an anti tarnish product.
