---- Welcome to CiaoQiao Shop ----- What does "14k gold filled" mean? "Gold-filled" is a USA industry standard that legally requires 1/20th, or 5% pure gold by weight. It's a strictly regulated process that involves pressure bonding multiple layers of solid 14k gold with extreme heat over a core of high quality jeweler's brass resulting in a durable, quality real gold product. Please note: natural stones will have flaws and no two stones will look exactly alike. Tips for making your Jewelry last longer - Remove your jewelry before you swim in chlorine or salt water. - Remove your jewelry before participating in activities that will cause you to sweat a lot. - Wait to put on your jewelry until after you have applied lotion, makeup or perfume. - Remove jewelry if you will be bringing it into contact with something hard. (For example, take off your ring before lifting weights.) - Store your plated jewelry where it won't rub against other hard substances (a soft bag--one per piece of jewelry--is ideal). Postage: - All orders will be sent from the United States. Please allow approximately 3-5 business days after purchase for shipment. - Holidays and holiday periods can affect your items delivery time.
