Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is 18K different from 14K gold?
18K contains more gold, which gives a richer yellow colour. 14K contains more alloy, which makes it slightly harder. Both are solid gold.
Q2. How large are these?
Approximately 2 1/2 inches long by 1 1/8 inches wide, making them the largest of the gold filigree teardrops.
Q3. Are the ear wires 18K as well?
No. The earrings are 18K hallmarked and the French wires are 14K gold, which is stronger for a thin hook.
Q4. How do I care for filigree?
Wipe with a soft cloth and avoid brushes, which snag fine scrollwork. Put them on after perfume and hairspray.
