Cleaning sterling silver wire jewelry

• Take a small bowl that will hold about a half quart of water and line it with aluminum foil. 
• Place your jewelry in the bowl. Sprinkle baking soda on the jewelry and pour boiling water over the jewelry.
• Leave for about one minute.
• Take out the jewelry (careful it will be hot!), rinse well with clean water and pat the jewelry dry or let it air dry.
• If the jewelry was very tarnished repeat the process.



Storing Jewelry

We recommendstoring your one-of-a-kind wire jewelry in its own jewelry bag or cotton lined box. This will cut down on tarnish and keep it from being scratched by other pieces of jewelry. This reduces the chances of it being connected to another piece of jewelry.

 Caring for

Gold-filled

Caring for gold-filled items is as easy as caring for any gold jewelry. Simply keep away from chemicals, clean regularly with mildly sudsy water, rinse well and pat dry with a non-scratching cloth. Polish gently with a jewelry polishing cloth.

Gold-filled

Gold-filled is an actual layer of gold pressure bonded to another metal.  Gold-filled is not to be confused with gold plating as filled literally has 100% more gold than gold plating. 

Gold-filled items are generally considered lifetime products, and the gold layer will not wear off, as it will in electroplated products.

Anyone who can wear gold can wear gold-filled without worries of any allergic reaction to the jewelry.

Local Color Jewelry uses only the highest quality of gold-filled which is 14kt.
