Choose Your Metal

Charms of Light® healing jewellery is created with different metals.  You will find sterling silver, copper and gold jewellery in a variety of different designs, mostly with healing crystals and gemstones.

 

The Silver Collection

I use two different types of silver in the healing jewellery at Charms Of Light®
 

Ecosilver

I use Ecosilver for general components, wire-wraps, crochet work.
Ecosilver is an eco-friendly alternative to sterling silver.  It is made of 100% recycled silver products and can be worked with in the same way as silver, for the same quality results, it is just simply more environmentally friendly.
 

.925 Sterling Silver

I use .925 sterling silver for general components, accents, wire-wraps, crochet work (when I am unable to use Ecosilver).

Please note:  Silver can tarnish quite easily, leaving it looking black and dirty.  To ensure that your silver is kept shiny it can be polished gently with a jewellery cloth, or you can use a standard silver polish.
 

The Copper Collection

I use 100% pure copper for general components, accents, wire-wraps, and crochet work.

Please note:  Copper is likely to develop a distinctive patina.  Patina is not a "defect", it is a natural by-product.  If you do not like the patina effect, you can clean copper goods using standard copper polish.

The Gold Collection

I use two different types of gold in the healing jewellery at Charms Of Light®

9ct Gold

This is 37.5% pure gold, used for general components, accents.

14ct Gold Fill

This is also known as Gold Filled, used for general components, accents.
Gold Fill is a layer of gold which is bonded by heat and pressure to a base metal core (usually brass or copper).  The term “Gold Filled” can only be used when the amount of gold used equals one-twentieth of the total weight of the piece.  14ct Gold Filled (or Gold Fill) is referred to as 14/20 G.F.  The first number is the carat of the gold layer, the second refers to the amount by weight of the gold in relation to the base layer.  Gold Fill represents a valuable, yet affordable option to carat gold.

Different metals also have their own healing properties.
