GOLD THICKNESS: The 14kt gold plating thickness is about 0.5 micron. A protective coating, much like a ceramic glaze, is then baked on – making it highly durable against wear and tear, and will prevent future tarnish. Although the plating is thinner than the requisite 2 microns in order to be labeled gold vermeille in the USA, our labour intensive process is far more durable and tarnish resistant than a 2 micron plating. Depending on the laws in your country on the minimum plating thickness in order to be labeled gold vermeille, you may choose to describe these pieces as 14kt Gold Plated Sterling with Protective Coating.
How They are Made: The magnets are set with tension and glue. Because these are powerful magnets, you may have the occasion magnet pop out of its section.. Re-gluing may be needed. These are not shower safe and water exposure can cause the glue to weaken.
