Our Jewelry

For generations, solid yellow gold has been the trademark of beauty and elegance for both men and women alike. It's a symbol of status and a representation of your taste in fashion. But not all gold is the same. 14K gold is of high quality making it the most practical. Both gold filled and sterling silver offer affordable options but with reduced longevity.
Our birthstone connectors include lab grown stones to keep the price affordable for all. These include the Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, Alexandrite and Diamond. The Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Peridot, Tourmaline, Zircon and Mozambique are natural. The birthstone charms are Cubic Zirconia. We also offer a beautiful baguette that is Moissanite.
Any chain, charm or connector will be beautiful and bring you joy!
-
We will always have a curated selection of at least 8 chains of varying size in solid 14K, Gold Filled and Sterling Silver to choose from based on availability. We also have a rotating selection of charms and connectors to add to your jewelry.
-
Solid yellow gold will never fade, never tarnish, and retains its value. For a piece that is meant to stay on 24/7, this is your best option.
Gold filled and Sterling are more budget friendly but come with limited longevity due to its exposure to certain chemicals such as Chlorine, and Alcohol.
A special note about white gold: White gold is made from a combination of yellow gold and other metals such as nickel, silver or palladium. As a result, it’s actually off-white. The signature color of white gold comes from the coating of Rhodium applied to it before it goes on the market. Rhodium plating white gold is a standard procedure in the fine jewelry industry. The rhodium plating on your jewelry should last 1 year but the base color may begin to show through in places of wear, such as between the links, reveling the champagne color of the natural white gold. Your bodies ph and external factors such as chlorine can speed this process. It can be taken off, re plated by your jeweler and then reattached when needed.
Note that Sparx 30 day guarantee is only for Sparx Permanent Jewelry products and does not cover expected wear from regular use, accidental damage, or loss.
Care and Maintenance
-
Your Sparx Jewelry will only require very occasional cleaning with a mild soap and a soft brush to maintain the sparkle and beauty of your chains and stones. Solid gold is the best option and offers the best longevity. Gold Filled will wear off eventually when exposed to hairspray, perfume or lotions. Silver can tarnish or pit if exposed to daily high levels of chlorine or sulfur, however it is self polishing when exposed to the daily friction and natural oils of our skin and is a beautiful choice.
A note about white gold…Virtually all white gold on the market is plated with Rhodium to make it bright white. This could rub off over time and expose the natural champagne colored white gold underneath. It will need to be removed and re plated to maintain its bright color.
-
You can remove the jewelry anytime with a pair a nail clippers. Simply cut the small ring that was welded. Come back in for a re-weld ($25) when you are ready to wear it again. No need to remove your jewelry for TSA airport security!
-
If your permanent piece should break or stretch, we will do our best to repair it!
Longevity is dependent on your lifestyle, job and other external factors. We cannot guarantee the lifespan of your unique jewelry. All of the welds done on the day of sale are thoroughly inspected to be a secure and complete weld. The weld point on a chain is the strongest point.
All of our chains are strength tested by the company they are purchased from so random breakage is an unlikely occurrence.
We still say that if it looks delicate, it is delicate and should be treated as such.

Even though gold is a hardy material, these chains are fundamentally dainty and a could stretch or perhaps break if pulled too hard.
Children may get jewelry with parental discretion. Children under the age of 14 must be with an adult. All young people are responsible for the jewelry once it's on their body. It is the adults decision that considers their sport, their age, their growth and any other daily factors that could cause excessive wear and tear.
If the chain breaks AFTER 30 DAYS and the weld is still in tact, the repair cost ($25) is the responsibility of the wearer. We will assess the chain and discuss options should the weld break.
Sparx Permanent Jewelry is not liable for lost chains.
Our pieces are beautiful however they are not labeled indestructible!

Yes! If you decide the chain length you chose is too long after wearing for 30 days, or you would like it moved to the other wrist after 30 days, it can be done for $25. If you feel your chain is too tight, it can only be made larger by adding a small length of chain, adding on a connector or by purchasing a new chain.

Since we are wearing these chains “permanently”, meaning we are not able to take them off to avoid exposures in our daily lives, there needs to be a reasonable expectation for longevity attached to each metal. Body chemistry ph may play a part in tarnishing.
Gold filled and silver:
Even though the 14K gold layer on our gold filled jewelry is thicker than plated jewelry, the exposure to the alcohol in lotions and tanning products will begin to break down that layer. You can minimize this process with nightly cleaning. Even with care, gold filled and sterling jewelry, when worn everyday, the finish will begin to dull or darken with exposure to everyday chemicals in our tap water, soaps and cosmetics. Silver is especially sensitive to extended/repeated exposure to chlorine. If you are a daily swimmer or a regular hot tub visitor, this should be considered. A good cleaning is always recommended but over time the chemical will cause darkening or even pitting.
Solid 14K yellow gold:
Solid 14K gold however, is much more water and chemical “proof” compared to gold filled or silver and will retain its beauty with daily wear. It is the “gold” standard for permanent jewelry! With that being said, none of these metals are pure, meaning they are all either alloys or have an internal metal in the case of gold filled. The copper that is in the 14K alloy can even react to an individuals body chemistry, perspiration and lotions causing darkness on the skin in some cases.
A nightly cleaning with a product like Dawn Dish detergent and some warm water, followed by a thorough rinse and a good pat dry should be incorporated in your routine to extend the life of your new jewelry regardless of the metal you choose.
Once a chain, charm or connector has darkened due to exposure it cannot be salvaged which is why it is important to take these steps for care in order to get the longest wear possible.

It could be a couple of different factors for why your jewelry is turning green. 14K gold is an alloy that has copper as well as other metals in it. A chemical reaction with your skin and a metal like copper, and some of these other metals, can turn your skin green. Sometimes even the small amount of copper in 14K could cause this reaction in some people.
Factors that influence the green skin could include a change in the ph of your body, perspiration, heat, humidity, and getting lotion on it.
Certain medications will increase production of sulfur and amino acids.
When a person perspires, these chemicals are present on the skin. They will react with metals like copper and nickel, leaving behind a green blemish on the skin and a darkening of the metal. The reaction happens most often with people undergoing chemotherapy or antibiotic treatment. There are also certain topical treatments containing sulfur, such as sulfur based shampoos or cremes.
Swimming in chlorine or having soap particles clinging to the jewelry could also cause the chemical reaction that causes skin to turn green.
If you bought the 14K solid it is the best you can have!
Try giving it a good scrub with a soft brush and dawn dish detergent to keep your jewelry clean and bright! description
