What is sterling or 925 silver?
925 refers to the purity of the silver we use in our jewelry. It means that our silver is 92.5% pure silver combined with another metal to create sterling silver alloy.
Is EFFY white gold jewelry rhodium plated?
Yes. All our white gold jewelry is rhodium plated for an ultra-bright, lustrous and crisp white finish. Rhodium belongs to the platinum group of metals and is highly reflective and corrosion resistant, providing protection against scratches and improving durability.
What is the difference between white gold and platinum?
White gold jewelry is silvery and icy in appearance thanks to its rhodium plating and weighs the same as yellow and rose gold. Platinum is naturally silver- white in color, does not require rhodium plating and is much denser than gold and also much heavier. This makes platinum a good option for rings but not necessarily earrings or other types of jewelry.
Is your jewelry stamped?
Yes, our jewelry is stamped to certify the material composition of the precious metal we used to create it. 925 indicates sterling silver, we use 18K and 14K stamps on our gold jewelry and PLAT, PT for our platinum rings.
How do I clean and care for my EFFY Jewelry?
Diamonds and gemstones have different care requirements. We create and craft our jewelry in a wide array of diamonds and gemstones including porous, organic and opaque gems. EFFY’s foam jewelry cleaner is suitable for all precious and semi-precious gems and jewelry and ideal for cleaning on the go. Our professional-grade cleaning kit is designed for cleaning, polishing and reviving your finest pieces. Here's help on how to clean specific gems and jewelry at home:
Diamonds:
Wash with warm water and mild dish soap and gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. Diamond jewelry can be soaked for 5 minutes to loosen dirt and grease. Rinse under warm water and dry with a lint-free cloth.
Rubies, Sapphires and most colored jewels:
Wash in lukewarm water and mild dish soap and gently scrub with a very soft brush. Rinse under lukewarm water and dry with a lint-free cloth.
Emeralds
Emeralds are sensitive to heat and moisture and should not be soaked or exposed to high temperatures. To clean them, wipe gently with a soft cloth or bring them to a trusted jeweler to be refreshed.
Opals
Opals contain water and can crack if they are exposed to heat or very dry conditions. The best way to clean opal jewelry is with a clean, damp cloth.
Pearls
Pearls are delicate and porous. For the best cleaning results, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Pearls should never be submerged in water or ultrasonic cleaners.
Cleaning Precious Metals
Gold, platinum and silver can be easily cleaned at home using warm water and mild dish soap. Soaking the jewelry for 5-10 minutes first will help to loosen dirt and grime from the grain of the precious metal. Use a soft brush to gently remove dirt and access intricate details. Rinse under warm water and dry with a lint-free cloth.
White gold may need to be re-plated with rhodium every few years to maintain its bright appearance. Avoid exposing white gold to chlorine as it can damage rhodium plating.
Platinum will develop a natural patina over time which is appreciated for its vintage appeal.
Silver jewelry can tarnish over time and heavily tarnished pieces may require a silver cleaning solution.
