Cool and Warm Toned Smoky Quartz and Grey Round Pearl Necklace

The 14k gold-filled material frequently used at mixandfun features a layer of 1/20 14k gold electroplated onto a brass base. This is a popular choice in recent years, known for being relatively easy to care for, maintaining its color for a longer period, and being more accessible in price compared to solid 14k gold. Solid 14k gold, on the other hand, is entirely 14k gold throughout, containing approximately 58.5% pure gold with the remainder being silver, iron, or copper. Given Taiwan's climate, solid 14k gold is even easier to maintain and offers a more refined color. It's also a consideration for those with sensitive skin. Specially plated alloy is another material I often utilize. mixandfun selects preferred, unplated chains and then applies a special electroplating process. This ensures the color remains vibrant for a considerable time under normal wear conditions. Care Instructions: 1. Always put on your jewelry after dressing and remove it before changing into loungewear. It is not recommended to wear jewelry while bathing. Avoid hot springs and swimming, as these are particularly detrimental. 2. For earrings, we recommend using the provided silicone stoppers to minimize the risk of loss. 3. Taiwan's climate is hot and humid. If jewelry will not be worn for an extended period, gently wipe it with a soft cloth before storing it in a sealed bag. 4. For delicate chains, make it a habit to fasten the clasp when removing them to reduce tangling. 5. Please understand that 14k gold-filled, solid 14k gold, or specially plated alloy pieces will show signs of wear over time. 6. A little-known maintenance tip: If you notice your jewelry has oxidized, don't panic. You can fill a bowl with water, add a pinch of salt, and a small piece of aluminum foil. Submerge your solid gold or sterling silver jewelry for about 10 minutes, then remove and polish. It should regain its shine. (Material compositions may vary by brand.) It's advisable to start with less expensive silver pieces for this method. 7. You can place solid gold or general alloy jewelry in your palm, dip an old toothbrush in a small amount of toothpaste, and gently brush for about half a minute. Rinse with clean water, and it should sparkle again. (Material compositions may vary by brand.) It's advisable to start with less expensive silver pieces for this method. 8. Antiqued or brass jewelry is not commonly used by mixandfun at present. Please refer to other specialized sellers for correct maintenance methods. 9. Whether single earrings can be reordered depends on the style and materials. Please inquire via private message. 10. We welcome private messages for custom orders or repairs.
