Talisman Fine Jewelry is made using solid 14k recycled gold. Solid gold will not tarnish or wear off with time, but can get dirty from body oil and lotions. We recommend cleaning your gold jewelry with either a Sunshine polishing cloth, or with dish soap and warm water. Please take special care with items that have leather, silk cord and semiprecious beads - these areas should not get wet. Otherwise, Talisman's solid gold and diamond jewelry can be worn anywhere, anytime.

Please note this item is made to order, and requires 6-8 weeks to produce before it can ship. If a rush is needed please specify in the checkout cart notes field and we will do our best to accommodate.
