Care: 

Clean your necklace with soapy water and dry with a soft cloth. Refrain from using chemicals, abrasives or heat. Do not clean colored gems in ultrasonic cleaners. Do not store them with other items that may scratch. Always put your jewelry on last when getting ready, after putting on lotions and perfumes and take off first when getting undressed. 

Sterling silver naturally oxidizes when exposed to humidity, perspiration, cosmetics and other chemicals. It is best to put your sterling silver jewelry on last and take it off first. Best stored in an airtight container and polished occasionally with the polishing cloth provided to remove the oxidization.

Gold-filled jewelry contains 5% solid gold by metal weight. This outer layer is not plated but bonded to an inner copper or jeweler's brass base that is neither visible or exposed to the skin. Therefore the outer layer of solid gold is up to 100 times thicker than traditional gold-plating and gold filled jewellery considered hypo-allergenic. Not only is it a less costly alternative to solid gold, but it is just as durable. Since it looks and acts like solid gold, it is water-resistant. (Though I wouldn't recommend submerging it in water or going swimming with it on.) When properly taken care of, it will look shiny and new even with decades of wear. Clean your gold-filled jewelry with mild soap and water, then pat dry.
