Before buying a jewel!
Many people have doubts when buying gold or silver jewelry , but here we give you some basic advice to make sure you are buying authentic jewelry:
-Make sure you buy from a real business that you can contact with any questions or complaints, avoid buying and selling platforms or websites where you do not know who or where they send you the product, to avoid counterfeits. Our store is located in the province of Valencia and you can find us on Google or on social networks by "Joyería Pepe Lozano"
-Pepe Lozano Jewelry certifies that all its products made of precious metals comply with the standards established in Royal Decree 197/1988, of February 22, which approves the Regulation of the Law on objects manufactured with precious metals, being those indicated as "18k GOLD" made of 18 carat sterling gold, and those indicated as "925 silver" or "925 gold-plated silver" made of 925 thousandths sterling silver.
-Precious metals such as gold and silver, even though they are resistant to rust and corrosion, can acquire a layer of dirt that makes them darken or yellow. To prevent this, it is advisable to always store them in a small box or bag that protects them from the air. and of the light.
-It is advisable not to bring gold and silver jewelry close to abrasive or cleaning products such as bleach or ammonia, or to pool or sea water since chlorine or salt can also stain these materials.
-In any case, if your jewelry gets dirty, there are specific wipes or liquids for cleaning it.
- Look at the weight in grams. Some jewelry such as chains are sold by weight, when you compare you can find, for example, two gold chains that at first glance look the same but have different prices, so you should pay attention to whether they weigh the same or if one is actually cheaper because it simply has less gold (less weight).
-All silver or gold jewelry in Spain must be marked somewhere on the piece with punches (a small mark that can be seen with a magnifying glass) that says "725" or "18k" for gold and "925" for the silver
-If you have any other questions you can ask us in the "contact" section.
