According to the United States Federal Trade Commission, gold filled jewelry refers to jewelry that "has   a layer of at least 10 karat gold mechanically bonded to a base metal". Other names for this term are "gold overlay" and "rolled gold plate".  Gold filled is around ten to twenty times thicker than Gold electro plate. Gold filled is designed not to wear thru for many years.

Gemstones are often treated to enhance the color or clarity of the stone. Depending on the type and extent of treatment, they can affect the value of the stone. Some treatments are used widely because the resulting gem is stable, while others are not accepted most commonly because the gem color is unstable and may revert to the original tone.

Heat can improve gemstone color or clarity. The heating process has been well known to gem miners and cutters for centuries, and in many stone types heating is a common practice. Most citrine is made by heating amethyst, and partial heating with a strong gradient results in ametrine—a stone partly amethyst and partly citrine. Much aquamarine is heated to remove yellow tones and change the green color into the more desirable blue or enhance its existing blue color to a purer blue.

Nearly all tanzanite is heated at low temperatures to remove brown undertones and give a more desirable blue/purple color. A considerable portion of all sapphire and ruby is treated with a variety of heat treatments to improve both color and clarity.

When jewelry containing diamonds is heated (for repairs) the diamond should be protected with boracic acid; otherwise the diamond (which is pure carbon) could be burned on the surface or even burned completely up. When jewelry containing sapphires or rubies is heated, it should not be coated with boracic acid or any other substance, as this can etch the surface; they do not have to be "protected" like a diamond.

Sterling silver jewelry is composed of 92.5% (925 parts per thousand) silver

and 7.5% copper alloy. The copper increases the silvers hardness.

Produced in mines (mainly Peru and Mexico) sterling silver has become

a popular affordable alternative to white gold or platinum. It can be polished

into a higher sheen than any other white metals.

Rhodium, which is a member of the platinum family, is a metal

that is durable and hard. It has a whitish and silver appearance.

When plated on other metals it produces a bright, shiny and long

lasting silver-colored finish. This coating helps protect the silver

from tarnishing, scratching, and corrosion.

Cubic Zirconia is the finest
substitute for diamonds. It can come in various colors and with the proper
cleaning, it will retain its beauty for years. It is a synthetic gemstone that
is chemically comprised of from a cubic form of zirconium oxide and yttrium
oxide. Cubic Zirconia’s are cut in the same way diamond are cut. Depending on
the styles, our CZ’s are both machine-cut and hand-cut. CZ’s are so solid that
it outweighs a diamond of the same millimeter diameter by 1.7 times more.
