14Karat Goldfilled is an excellent option between solid gold and electroplated.

It has a base metal with a thick layer about 5% layer of 14 Karat gold surrounding it. When taken care of it will not tarnish, or rub off however natural human oils and dirt may get on it, a gentle scrub with a toothbrush and soft soap or toothpaste will clean it up nicely or a polishing cloth.

Electroplated gold finishes are a minuscule thin layer of gold that often chips off and can make your fingers turn green. While this is the cheapest way to get a gold look it does not last.

All sizes are done in US sizing, if you require a size that is not shown please contact us and we will accommodate as best as possible.

All sales are final, as these are handmade, made to order and custom items.

Yes! I believe in ethically sourcing my stones and diamonds.

How they are formed:
Ethiopian opals are formed in volcanic rock making it more porous and absorb water similar to a sponge, and this “hydrophane” property affects the transparency of Ethiopian opal when immersed in water.

Keep your Ethiopian Opals away from water and liquids. Such as: washing hands, showering, doing dishes, running through sprinklers, hanging out in shark cages, surfing etc.
-
Do NOT Expose your Opals to:
- Extreme changes in temperature.
- Liquid Chemicals
-Take off before manual labour.

Short-term contact with plain water does not harm gem quality Ethiopian opals. If the opal gets wet from simply dry off immediately.
And with continued care you can wear your opal for a lifetime.

 + JEWELRY CARE +

We do our best to create heirloom quality hand crafted pieces. Our jewelry is designed to be sturdy yet delicate so please handle with care.
Do your best to keep it in a safe place (the box or bag it came in will do great).

Don't wear jewelry while swimming, bathing, and keep away from moisturizers and lotions.
Keeping your jewels in a box will keep them from tarnishing and remain their brightest for longer.
Sterling silver can tarnish over time, but you can clean your jewelry by washing it gently with dish soap and a toothbrush.(avoiding stones in the process)
Make sure to rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean towel.
We want you to LOVE your new piece of jewelry for a very long time.

Many of our pieces are created with 14Karat Solid Gold and special precautions need to be taken for gold jewelry containing porous semi-precious gemstones like opals or turquoise.

* Mix a mild liquid dish soap with warm water. Blue Dawn works great for this.
* Dip a cotton swab or soft cloth into the solution and gently clean the jewelry. Do not soak turquoise or opals in the warm water solution - they are porous stones and will absorb water.
* Dry the jewelry with a polishing cloth or clean cloth.
* Never use ammonia or hand sanitizer on gold jewelry containing turquoise or opals. It will cause irreversible damage to the stones. Also remember that an ultrasonic machine will damage these delicate stones.
