Gold and Silver
The
materials I use are selected for quality and workability.
My process requires that these materials be flexible
and durable enough to withstand weaving -
affordable without sacrificing quality.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gold
All of my
gold-filled materials meet federal quality standards.
Gold-filled (or gold overlay) is made by heat and pressure
-
bonding a layer of 14K gold to a brass core.
The value of gold-filled is far greater than gold plated
because
it has an actual layer of karat gold, not just a microscopic film.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sterling Silver
The silver strands I use are 92.5% silver and
7.5% copper.
The Fine Silver is 99.99% silver and .01% copper.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* All of my materials are nickel free
as many people have allergic reactions to nickel.
