Sterling Silver Clear Blue-Green Quartz & Chrysocolla Y-Necklace

The 14k gold-filled material frequently used in mixandfun designs involves plating a layer of 1/20 14k gold onto a brass base. This is a popular choice in recent years, known for being easier to care for, maintaining its color longer, and being more affordable than solid 14k gold. Solid 14k gold, on the other hand, is entirely 14k gold throughout, with a gold content of approximately 58.5%, complemented by silver, iron, or copper. Given Taiwan's climate, solid 14k gold is even easier to maintain and offers a more refined color. If you have sensitive skin, solid 14k gold is a great option to consider. Specially plated alloy is another material I often use. mixandfun carefully selects preferred, unplated chains and then applies a special plating process, ensuring the color remains vibrant under normal wear conditions. Care Instructions: 1. Always put on your jewelry after dressing and remove it before changing into loungewear. It is not recommended to wear jewelry while bathing. Avoid wearing jewelry in hot springs and while swimming. 2. For earrings, we recommend using the included silicone stoppers to minimize the chance of loss. 3. Taiwan's climate is hot and humid. If you won't be wearing your jewelry for an extended period, gently wipe it with a soft cloth before storing it in a sealed bag. 4. For delicate chains, make it a habit to fasten the clasp when removing them to reduce tangling. 5. Please understand that 14k gold-filled, solid 14k gold, or specially plated alloy items will show signs of wear over time. 6. A little maintenance tip: If you notice any oxidation on your jewelry, don't panic. You can fill a bowl with water, add a pinch of salt, and a small piece of aluminum foil. Submerge your solid 14k gold or sterling silver jewelry for about 10 minutes, then remove and polish. It should regain its shine. (Material composition may vary slightly between brands.) We recommend starting with less expensive silver pieces. 7. You can place solid 14k gold or general alloy jewelry in your palm, dip an old toothbrush in a little toothpaste, and gently brush for about half a minute. Rinse with clean water, and it will sparkle again. (Material composition may vary slightly between brands.) We recommend starting with less expensive silver pieces. 8. Antiqued or brass jewelry is a material mixandfun uses less frequently. For proper care instructions, please refer to other specialized sellers. 9.
