14k white gold ~ Important information!

Did you know, that wearing your 14k WHITE gold in chlorine is a NO-NO?

We find that most people don't know that.

Gold is yellow by nature. So, for gold to be made white, it is alloyed with nickle. Nickle is a metal that reacts with chlorine. Chlorine compromises the metal and makes it extremely brittle.

Now, keep in mind, even if your bridal set, or any jewelry piece, is 14k YELLOW gold, it probably had a 14k WHITE gold, head (the prongs that hold in the stone).

We've seen cases, where the head just disintegrated after long exposure in a hot tub.

So, be cautious! Check back frequently for more care information pertaining to all things jewelry.
