The size of the bracelet is the approximate length of the beads before its tied together, not your wrist size. They are shown in size medium (7") on a 6.25" wrist. If possible, it is best to measure to avoid ordering the wrong size. If you know your wrist size and have a different size in mind, send us a message. They can be made in half sizes, too.

Although gold filled and gold PVD are durable and water-safe, it's still best to avoid harsh chemicals. You can clean them with dish soap and water. For a quick shine, use a soft polishing cloth. Wear with care and store separately from other jewelry to avoid scratches.

ABOUT GOLD FILLED

Gold filled is not the same as gold plated. It is much better quality and contains a higher percentage of gold. We use 14/20 GF which means the purity of the gold is 14K and the amount of gold is 1/20th of the overall weight (or 5%). Gold filled raw materials are made by applying a sheet of 14K gold to an underlying brass core using heat and pressure. Things like chain, closures, and some diecut stampings (like our St. Christopher charm) can then be made with gold filled metal. You will see many cast 3D charms and pendants being marketed as gold filled, but its not possible due to nature of gold filled and the way it is manufactured. Those are plated items being sold under the wrong name. Our gold filled items aren't stamped but we purchase them from reputable US manufacturers and we are knowledgeable about what we're selling because we care. ♥︎

ABOUT GOLD PVD

Gold "PVD" is a layer of gold deposited on stainless steel using an innovated process called physical vapor deposition. It is tarnish-proof, waterproof, and hypo-allergenic. It's safe to swim and shower in your pieces and there is no need to worry about perfumes and lotions damaging them. To ensure an extra long life, it's best to avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives. Gold PVD is extremely durable but not indestructible.
