What is a "Push Present?" TOP
Push Presents commemorate the birth of a baby and are the latest gift-giving tradition.

What are Bali Beads made of? TOP
Bali Beads are handmade in Bali, Indonesia, by silversmiths who have honed their skills over genarations. Each bead is handmade individually out of sterling silver. Every little granule and wire is applied by hand to the beads. The beads are then antiqued, giving them more depth. The results are beautiful, unique beads unlike any others in the world.
What is Gold-Filled? TOP
Gold-filled describes when a layer of gold is mechanically bonded with heat and pressure to one or more surfaces of the supporting base metal, then rolled or drawn to a given thickness. In the jewelry industry the quantity of gold must be at least 1/20th by weight of the total product. Under FTC regulations, a product may be marked as 14, 12 or 10kt gold-filled. Karat measurement of the gold content must be part of the marking or designation, so when you see our items listed as 14/20 it means it is 14k gold equaling 5% of the weight of the piece. Gold-filled items will remain gold for a lifetime if cared for properly. The occasional silver spot is from solder holding joints together. Unless you are using harsh chemicals or abrasives, the gold layer will stay gold for years to come!
How do I Care for my Photo Jewelry TOP
The jewelry is water-resistant not waterproof. Remove your jewelry before swimming or bathing as pool chemicals and extended submersion in water may harm the photo. A UV inhibitor was added to the coating to reduce the effects of light exposure. However, with all photos prolonged exposure to UV or bright lighting, i.e. halogen bulbs will fade the appearance of the photograph. To preserve your photo avoid prolonged exposure to direct light. How do I care for my jewelry? TOP
Personalized jewelry: Sterling silver will tarnish if left out. The good news is the jewelry can return to it's original sparkle with a quick buff from a silver polishing cloth. Please do NOT use jewelry cleaners or dips to clean your bracelet. It will damage the crystals. Also, it's best not to wear your bracelet in chlorinated water or at the ocean.
