Robert
Becenti Jr., Navajo HK Item #W368 $295 (ONLY ONE AVAILABLE) | ||||||||||
Paula says - "Robert Becenti Jr., primarily used 12K gold-filled overlay techniques on his jewelry. "The term Watch Tips refers to the two decorative panels that connect the timepiece to the expansion band. "The Nadia timepiece and expansion band pictured here were on the watch tips when they came into our store. The timepiece runs, but we don't know how old the battery is, so you may need to replace it. Sold AS IS."

What Does Gold-Filled Mean?Gold-Filled (GF) is a layer of gold 10K or greater mechanically bonded under heat and pressure to a base material, then rolled or drawn to a given thickness or gage. Gold filled jewelry has a surface layer of gold that is very thick compared to gold plated or electroplated items. Gold-filled jewelry are considered LIFETIME products, and the gold layer will not quickly wear off, as it does with gold plated jewelry. Read about gold |
GoldGold is the most malleable of precious metals and is prized for jewelry because it does not corrode, tarnish or rust. It can be found nearly everywhere, in rivers, mountains and oceans, but it is very difficult and expensive to mine and refine. The karat is a unit of measurement for the proportion of gold an item contains.

About Silver100% solid silver won't tarnish but it is too soft to use for making jewelry - it could easily be scratched, dented and bent. Sterling silver has a small amount of one or more other metals usually copper, added to the silver. To be called sterling silver, the alloy must contain at least 92.5% pure silver. Sterling silver alloy is harder than pure silver but the added metals also can cause discoloration or tarnish. |
