Questions
Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Every piece is hypoallergenic and nickel-free. Charms are solid 925 sterling silver finished in heavy-deposition 24k gold vermeil, chains and earring posts are 14k gold-filled (1/20) with a 24k gold dip, and rose gold is 14k rose gold-filled. Made by hand in Atlanta.

Does it come with a gift box?

Yes. Every order arrives in our gift box, ready to give as it is. No extra charge and nothing to ask for at checkout.

What does gold fill actually mean?

Gold fill is not plating. A thick layer of solid gold is bonded to a brass core under heat and pressure, and by law it has to be at least 1/20 of the item's weight, which is why you see it written as 14k gold-filled (1/20). That layer is many times thicker than gold plate, so it does not rub off the way plated jewelry does and it holds up to daily wear for years.

For reference, from most to least gold: solid gold, then gold fill, then heavy plate, then flash plate. Most high-street jewelry is flash plate, which is a microscopically thin coat that wears through in months. We use gold fill, with a 24k dip over it for a deeper color.

How do I care for it?

Very little upkeep. Keep it away from chlorine, harsh cleansers, and household chemicals, and take it off before swimming. An occasional buff with a soft dry cloth is usually all it asks for, and it is happiest stored somewhere dry and out of direct sun. Cared for that way, gold-filled and sterling pieces are made to be worn every day.

Cardinals mean something to a lot of people. These keep that quietly, as a small perched bird on each ear rather than anything showy.

Each bird is cut from 925 sterling silver and finished in a thick 24k gold vermeil, or left polished if you prefer silver. The posts are 14k gold-filled (1/20) with a 24k gold dip.
