Due to its deep red, purplish hue, it was called "Zi Ya Wu." These are minerals that have been used as gemstones and abrasives since the Bronze Age. While commonly red, garnets encompass a broad spectrum of colors, covering almost every hue imaginable. ▶︎| S I Z E | ◻︎ Material: 14k Gold Filled ▶︎| STONE | ◻︎ Natural Stone: Garnet ▶︎| Included | ● One maintenance zipper pouch ● Bubble wrap ● One jewelry design paper bag packaging ▶︎| About 14K Gold Filled (Gold Injection) | 14K Gold Filled (often abbreviated as 14KGF) involves mechanically bonding a layer of 14K gold onto a base metal, such as brass. This process creates a strong and durable bond that is resistant to wear and less prone to peeling compared to gold plated items, making it significantly more long-lasting. According to U.S. FTC regulations, Gold Filled products must contain at least 1/20th (5%) of their total weight in gold. Therefore, 14K Gold Filled products are typically marked with "1/20 14K GF," though some components, like small beads, chains, or gold wire, may not bear this mark for aesthetic reasons. Gold Filled jewelry offers the luxurious feel of solid gold and is generally hypoallergenic. However, like all metals, it can tarnish over time with exposure and wear. If your jewelry appears discolored or dull, gently rub the metal parts with a little toothpaste and water on your fingertip; this will help restore its original luster. Pure 14K gold is composed of 58.5% (14/24) gold and 41.5% (10/24) other metals. Similarly, the 14K gold layer in Gold Filled products contains approximately 10/24 of other metals. The specific composition and ratio of these metals can vary, leading to subtle differences in color. Consequently, slight color variations may occur between different Gold Filled components or across different production batches.
