HOW THEY’RE MADE: Each gemstone is wrapped by hand with 14K gold filled wire which is then formed into the ear wire and hammered for strength. Gold filled wire is a hollow tube of 14 karat gold that is filled with brass for durability, so all the metal outside is 14K gold; gold filled wire will not wear off like gold plating and will last a lifetime.

CARE: Carnelian has a Mohs hardness of 6.5. It can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Always remove jewelry before swimming or showering.
