our materials & how to love them

 Goldvibe Jewellery uses quality, locally sourced, materials in every handmade piece of jewellery. 

 

14K GOLD FILLED

14k gold filled is a great, more affordable, alternative to solid gold. Gold filled contains almost 100x more gold than typical gold plated base metals, making it more tarnish resistant and less likely to fade or flake off over time. The longevity of gold filled jewellery can depend on the overall care of the piece, and in some cases, the natural skin ph of the wearer. Many people with sensitive skin are able to wear 14k gold filled jewellery with ease, however if you have extreme sensitivities, then solid 14k gold (or a higher karat) is always your best bet!  

925 STERLING SILVER

925 sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver. Silver jewellery in Canada is standardly made with 925 sterling silver, as it is nickel free, and more durable to withstand wear. 

CARE + HOW TO LOVE 

To prevent tarnishing, it is best to keep your jewellery in either a jewellery bag or box. It is recommended to take off your jewellery when bathing/swimming and applying lotions are fragrances. Please do not use store bought jewellery cleaner to clean your pieces. Instead, use a polish cloth or a mild, fragrance free dish soap with water and a soft toothbrush to clean.
