Quality is our priority and this means we source only the highest quality precious metals (Sterling silver & Gold filled) and findings from our suppliers. When well cared for, your Stamp + Shine pieces can last you a lifetime.

Gold Filled
Gold filled jewellery is very high quality, tarnish resistant and when cared for properly a gold/rose gold filled piece will last a lifetime. It is unlike gold plated pieces, which lasts up to only a year if kept away from water, heat and general wear.
14K Gold/ Rose Gold Filled is a layer of 14K gold/rose gold mechanically bonded under high heat and pressure to a base metal such as brass or copper. It is an actual layer of gold and thus is much more valuable (and therefore more expensive!) than gold plated or gold dipped jewellery (as it contains a hundred times more gold than these other types). With proper care, Gold/Rose Gold filled will NOT chip off, flake, wear off or turn colour over time.

Sterling Silver
925 Sterling Silver is an alloy and comprises 92.5% silver. It inevitably tarnishes with time, but this is easily reversible with a simple and inexpensive process done using home staples - baking soda & white vinegar (steps outlined below). We also sell polish pads that work great to easily remove the tarnish on sterling silver with gentle buffing strokes.

It is actually recommended that you wear your sterling silver pieces as much as possible to prevent tarnish as the natural oils in your skin creates a barrier and slows the tarnishing process.
With regular cleaning, your sterling silver Stamp + Shine pieces will continue to sparkle for a lifetime. 

How to clean your Sterling Silver jewellery

1. Soak your silver jewelry for a couple of hours in a mixture of 1 cup of white vinegar and 3 tablespoons of baking soda

2. Rinse well with cold water

3. Using a soft clean cloth, gently buff its surface to dry. 

4. Shine is restored! Looking good as new.
