This gold metal composition is what enables one to create the swirls and curls used in my special designs. The exterior of the product is solid 14kt gold and everything you can see or touch is a solid layer of 14kt gold. This is why it will never chip or wear off. Gold filled wears, looks and lasts like solid gold because its outer layer is SOLID GOLD.

It is not "gold plate." The process of making the wire is to create one 14 Kt tube with a semi-precious metal core made by bonding with heat and pressure.Sterling Silver wire (.925 silver)------This is normally used in the construction of sterling jewelry. It is beautiful and very economicalArgentium Sterling Silver - Tarnish-resistant due to heating of the layer of germanium oxide mixed with the Sterling Silver. An unusual property of the element silver (AG) is that it allows oxygen to pentrate through its surface, and into the interior of the metal. That is why the Cu2O/firescale is able to form under the surface of traditional sterling silver. The addition of germanium to the sterling silver alloy stops the penetration of oxygen past the surface. How Does Germanium Stop Tarnish? * Sterling silver forms several oxides,including cuprous oxide and cupric oxide. Cuprous oxide (Cu2O), commonly called firescale or firestain, forms within traditional sterling silver. Cuprix oxide (CuO) is the gray or black surface film that is easily removed by pickle. *Silver (the element) is unusual in that it lets oxygen in. That is why other metals have a surface oxide only, not the underlying firescale problem that traditional sterling has. *Germanium oxide (GeO2) is somewhat transparent and whitish. When it forms on the surface of Argentium@ Sterling Silver, it prevents tarnish. *Tarnish is not an oxide; it is silver and copper sulfide. Tarnish occurs when silver is expsed to sulfur-containing compounds. The sulfur may be in the air or it may be in a chemical that is applied to the silver. There can be many contributing factors that can cause an alloy to tarnish: environmental conditions, perfume, deodorant, chemicals used in manufacture, solder temperature, packaging, skin conditions, water, sulfur or chlorine. SPECIAL NOTE*** Some people who were unable to wear traditional sterling silver jewelry because of skin reactions find that they are aable to wear Argentium@ Sterling Silver without any problems.
