About 14K GF (Gold-Filled) 1/20 14K GF (Gold-Filled) signifies that 5% of the total weight is 14K gold. This is distinct from plating. 14K GF means 14K gold is mechanically bonded to a base metal under high temperature and pressure. This process creates a hard, wear-resistant surface that retains its gold luster and is more durable than gold-plated items. It is widely used in the United States and is classified as a precious material. 14K gold-filled is not pure gold; it is an alloy of gold and copper, containing 1/20th gold, and will not fade. As it is gold throughout, it does not chip or wear off like plating. According to FTC regulations in the United States, Gold Filled (GF) products must contain at least 1/20th (5%) of their total weight in gold. Therefore, 14K GF products are typically marked with "1/20 14K GF". However, some components, such as small beads or wire, may not be marked due to aesthetic considerations. You can wear 14K GF jewelry while showering; it can even be considered a form of cleaning. However, it is recommended to remove jewelry with gemstones before showering. 14K gold-filled items are easier to care for than sterling silver. If slight discoloration occurs, gently scrub with warm water and a little toothpaste, then air dry and store in a ziplock bag (ensure it is completely dry) to maintain its color indefinitely. 【Care Instructions】 1. Jewelry is crafted with extreme precision. Please handle with care to avoid drops, impacts, strong pulls, or compression. Additionally, avoid wearing jewelry while cooking, bathing (especially in hot springs), sleeping, or exercising. 2. When wearing any jewelry, try to avoid direct contact with perfumes, cosmetics, or other chemicals and water. Also, refrain from wearing jewelry in hot springs or swimming pools. 3. Oxidized silver will appear a light coffee color and can be polished with a silver polishing cloth. Silver polishing cloths contain silver care ingredients; they should not be washed and the residue is silver, allowing for multiple uses. 4. For intricately detailed or three-dimensional silver pieces, avoid excessive polishing to maintain their original finish. 5. If silver jewelry is not stored sealed or is not frequently polished, its color may darken. 6. The best way to care for silver jewelry is to wear it daily, as the natural oils from your skin can impart a warm luster. 7. Jewelry with a polished original finish is the easiest to care for; simply wipe with a silver polishing cloth. 8. Pearls can be cleaned with fresh water after wearing. Avoid storing them in airtight containers. 【Care Instructions for Gold-Plated Jewelry】 Keep dry after wearing. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, cosmetics, or other chemicals and water. Refrain from wearing jewelry in hot springs or swimming pools. 【Important Notes Before Ordering】 ◈ Orders will be fulfilled based on the items displayed on the product page. ◈ If you have any special requests, please contact us via email beforehand. ◈ All items are custom-made after payment is received and are non-refundable or exchangeable.
