MATERIALS
At Wyatt Creations, we want your jewelry to be beautiful, durable and of high-quality. Therefore, we mainly use sterling silver or gold-filled metal components: wire, chain, clasps, earwires, etc. When we do use any plated or base metal, it will be clearly notated in the description. These instances are very limited.
When stringing pieces, we use a nylon-coated, stainless steel micro-beading wire. This wire is not only durable and flexible but also hypo-allergenic. It can even be worn in both freshwater and saltwater.
Most of our gemstones and pearls are natural. If they are enhanced in any way, it will be notated in the item description.
CARE
Each piece of jewelry is carefully and thoroughly cleaned before shipping. We also place anti-tarnish tabs in each box of jewelry to ensure your jewelry arrives sparkling. The tabs will keep your sterling silver and gold pieces tarnish-free for up to six months. You can also use polish and a soft cloth to make your jewelry sparkle again. Soon we will offer these items on our website for your convenience.
