OK,LETS GET TO THE POINT,I SELL FASHION OR AS SOME SAY COSTUME JEWELRY.WHAT IS GOOD? WHAT IS BAD? I AM NOT GOING TO GO INTO GEMOLOGIST DETAIL HERE AND DRAG IT OUT,I JUST WANT TO LAY OUT SOME SIMPLE GUIDE RULES HERE FOR MY CUSTOMERS.
SILVERTONE DOES NOT HAVE ANY SILVER=ONLY LOOKS LIKE IT
GOLDTONE DOES NOT HAVE ANY GOLD =ONLY LOOOKS LIKE IT
(MAY WANT TO REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU SEE A FAVORITE DESIGNER TO THE STARS ON A HOME SHOPPING CLUB,WITH GOLDTONE OR SILVERTONE PIECES AT $150.00 A PIECE! IT WILL TARNISH AND TURN BLACK)
REAL IS REAL
LAB CREATED HAS SAME PROPERTIES AS REAL ,MEANING ON METERS CHECKS OUT AT SAME HARDNESS ,COLOR,ETC. AS REAL
SIMULATED=HAS SAME PROPERTIES AS REAL AND LAB BUT USES CHEAPER INGREDIENTS.(THE BEST WAY IN MY BOOK TO GO)
GOLD ID GOLD
SILVER IS SILVER(WILL OXIDIZE AND TURN BLACK BUT CAN BE BUFFED CLEAN AND IS LIFETIME WEAR)
BRASS IS A BASE METAL USED IN JEWELRY ,ESPECIALLY GOLD PLATING,=WILL TARNISH(CAN ALSO BE SILVER PLATED)
NICKLE IS A BASE METAL AND USED IN JEWELRY ,ESP. IN GOLD PLATING=WILL TARNISH.(CAN ALSO BE SILVER PLATED)
GOLD PLATED=CAN BE GOOD OR BAD,DEPENDIND ON HOW MANY COATS,IF IT DOESNT SAY,ASSUME,ONE COATING=WILL BEND,SCRATCH,TARNISH
TECHNIBOND=ONE OF THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS,A FULL 40 COATS OF 14K GOLD OVER SILVER(NEVER DIP IN CLOROX,WILL TURN ORANGE)
VERMEIL=THE BEST IN GOLD PLATING,MANY,MANY,COATS OF GOLD,SOMETIMES A 100 COATS,AND VERY DURABLE.
THANKS FOR LISTENING,HOPE I HAVE SUMMED IT UP SHORT AND FAST,AND PLEASE VISIT MY STORE AT www.honeybeesjewelrybox.ge
