Cleaning Methods

Softer jewels like pearls are more easily scratched. To clean your pearls, use a soft brush and warm, barely soapy water. Put your pearls out to dry on a towel or cloth after giving them a good cleaning. It's preferable to leave the pearls alone until the string is completely dry since silk thread expands.

Gold

What does Karat or 14K mean?

Karat is a unit of measurement, which represents the percentage of gold versus other metals in a piece of jewelry. Pure gold is too soft to support everyday use, so it is mix with other metals, called alloy. Pure gold is 24 karat gold, meaning 24 out of 24 parts (100%) are gold. That is how we get the karat percentage. The higher the number the larger percent of gold: 18kt, 14kt, 10kt, etc. So "14K" or "14KT" means a piece of gold jewelry is 14 out of 24 parts gold.
