Materials, Care & Cleaning
Materials, Care & Cleaning
The Little Refinery loves 14k gold fill and sterling silver because they are high quality materials that can last decades with a little care. Plus, they’re easy on the eyes, skin, and the bank account. Both metals are nickel-free, great for sensitive skin (unlike plated jewelry), and will never turn your skin green… because that’s the worst!
GOLD FILL
Gold Fill is a thick layer of solid gold that has been bonded to a base meal core. It is waterproof and actually wears like solid gold, unlike gold plated or vermeil jewelry. Gold filled jewelry is water-safe and nickel free, making it a great option for people with sensitive skin. Your jewelry may get dirty over time, so I recommend a quick monthly clean. Simply wash in warm water with mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth. Store in a plastic baggie between wears and check out @TheLittleRefinery on Instagram for more tips.
STERLING SILVER
925 sterling silver is a solid precious metal. It is water-safe and nickel free, making it a great option for sensitive skin. Fun fact: the oils in your skin actually prevent tarnish on silver, so wear your jewelry often and store it in an airtight container (a plastic baggie will do the trick!) between wears. If tarnishing does occur, don’t worry! Head to @TheLittleRefinery on Instagram for easy home cleaning in story highlights.
