HOW IT’S MADE: A large round gemstone is wire wrapped by hand with 14K gold filled wire and hung from a delicate chain. 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: Malachite has a Mohs hardness of 3.5-4. Do not use harsh chemicals or clean in ultrasonic cleaners. Always remove earrings before swimming or showering.
