· Here at The Blue Darling we use a gemstones and a mix of 14k gold filled and 14k gold plated findings & beads. With proper care, your new jewelry shouldn't tarnish, peel or turn colors.

· All gemstone bracelets contain 14k gold filled beads.

· Our all-gold bracelets use gold plated beads that are of the highest quality available. Made of brass with a thick gold plate, more durable than alloy or CCB material. These beads have more weight to them and feel great on you wrist.

· Tarnish resistant so they won't fade easily and can retain their shiny appearance for a long time with proper care. 

· Here are a few things you can do to keep your pieces looking as beautiful as the day you bought them:

All of our bracelets are made with high quality strong elastic string, but CAN stretch out if not rolled off properly. When removing your bracelets, please gently roll them off your hand. The beads should have constant contact with your skin as you take them off, avoid stretching or pulling the bracelet away from your wrist when you remove them. Also, roll off one bracelet at a time. These bracelets are designed to be worn all day everyday, and and constantly taking them on and off should be minimized as much as possible. This will help them to maintain their correct size and avoid them getting stretched out!

Though we use high quality gold plated beads and gemstone beads, they still need to be handled with care. We do recommend limiting contact with moisture, lotion, perfume, sunscreen, body oil and other substances that could harm the beads over time. Remove them before doing dishes, swimming or showering to prevent tarnishing of the gold beads. Doing this can help preserve their luster and color, and especially anything with pearls should be given extra care to retain their beauty.
