Austrian crystals are man-made gems manufactured in Austria.
In 1892, Daniel Swarovski invented a machine for making precision-cut, beautiful, high quality lead glass crystals using Quartz, sand, and minerals. The exact proportions of these raw materials has remained a company secret.
This specialised manufacturing process ensures the highest possible degree of precision which produces brilliant crystals. For five generations, the Swarovski family has continued the tradition of making the most recognised crystals in the world out of their factory in Wattens, Austria.
Cubic Zirconias are known for their brilliance and clarity, making them a popular alternative to diamonds. They are designed to catch the light beautifully.
Hardness: Diamond has a rating of 10 and Cubic zirconia has an 8 on the Mohs hardness scale.
What is GOLD FILLED?
Gold-filled is composed of a solid sheet of 14k gold bonded with heat and pressure to a sheet of bronze.
Why is it called Gold Filled? Actually, all the gold is on the outside, the industry decided on “gold-filled” to identify this kind of jewellery it has nothing to do with being filled with gold.
Most importantly the term gold filled refers to a thick outer layer of durable, pressure-bonded, real, solid gold…on the outside. No filling.
IS GOLD-FILLED jewellery real gold?
The gold in 14k gold-filled is definitely real. There’s a thick layer of real, solid 14k gold on the outside of a bronze core. The 14k gold that’s on the outside of gold-filled is the same gold as you would get from a solid 14k piece.
When compared to gold plated Jewellery, Gold-Filled is a far superior product.
Gold filled is NOT “GoldPlated”.

Measure Your Wrist Accurately
Measuring your wrist is the first and most critical step in finding the perfect bracelet size. It’s crucial to measure accurately to ensure your bracelet fits comfortably.
-
To measure your wrist, you'll need a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler.
-
Wrap the measuring tape or string around your wrist, just above the wrist bone. If you're using a string, mark the point where it overlaps.
-
Lay the measuring tape or string flat and use the ruler to measure the length in centimetres.
Measure your wrist size
Step 1: Wrap the tape measure just above the wrist bone so that it fits snugly without feeling too tight or too loose.
Step 2: Mark where the tape measure overlaps. This is the exact circumference of your wrist.
Note: You can substitute the measuring tape with a string or ribbon and use a straight ruler to measure the length from the point of overlap to the end.
If it is not done properly, then the size will be inaccurate and I will make a bangle based on the loose size, which always has led to returns being too big.
Just to let you know, most people make the tape loose because they worry that I will make a “tight bangle”. This is not the case.
