❓Frequently Asked Questions for Crafters❓

What is 14K gold-filled, and why choose it?
14K gold-filled jewelry is made by bonding a thick layer of 14K gold to a brass core, offering durability and a luxurious shine. It’s more valuable than gold-plated, resists tarnish, and retains value over time, making it a smart choice for lasting jewelry.

Is 14K gold-filled hypoallergenic?
Yes! Our gold-filled components are nickel-free and hypoallergenic, ensuring comfort for sensitive skin, perfect for daily wear or gifting.

How do I care for gold-filled jewelry?
Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Store in a dry, airtight bag to maintain shine. Our blog offers detailed care tips for long-lasting beauty.

What tools do I need for gold-filled projects?
Use bent nose pliers, round nose pliers, a crimp tool, and a nipper tool for tasks like opening jump rings, crimping, or wrapping headpins and eye pins. These ensure professional results with our kits.

Can I mix gold-filled with other materials?
Absolutely! Pair our 14K gold-filled beads and findings with Swarovski crystals, sterling silver, or leather cords for unique, eye-catching designs.
