The Lauren Beaded Band is our original design with 3MM beads. Our dainty gold filled Beaded Bands™ are an elastic ring perfect to wear alone or to be stacked with your class ring or other statement rings. We suggest getting the same size as your ring. Material: 14 K gold-filled beads and elastic string Note: Gold-filled shouldn't but can tarnish due to the 95% brass core inside and 5% gold sheet over brass by weight. A good gold polishing cloth or jewelry cleaner will help to remove tarnishing. Unlike gold plated product with has nano thickness of gold on the surface gold-filled do not lose the layer of gold easily because it has 5% gold sheet over brass. However swimming in pools, sunscreen, hair products, nail polish, bleach, perfume chemicals, nail and hair salons with high-level sulfides in the air, hot springs can permanently cause damage to gold filled.
