Merewif? What does that mean and how do I say it?

Merewif is pronounced meer-wife. It comes from an Old English term for mermaid or sea witch.

What do the terms GOLD PLATE and GOLD FILL mean? 

I am happy to answer any questions in addition to the info below, yourfriend@merewif.com

GOLD PLATED JEWELRY

All Merewif gold plated jewelry is solid brass with sterling silver ear posts beneath the gold plate.  We use a much thicker gold plate than the industry standard to prolong the life of the pieces: our gold plated jewelry should hold its plating for years if the wearer takes proper care of the piece (see below).

GOLD FILLED JEWELRY

We use gold filled chain on certain delicate necklace styles. Gold filled jewelry is composed of a number of layers wherein a gold alloy is permanently bonded to the brass core with both heat and pressure. Gold filled jewelry should not be confused with solid gold jewelry. 

 

How do I care for my Merewif jewelry? 

To prolong the life of your gold plated and gold filled pieces, we recommend removing your jewelry when doing the following:

  • swimming (chlorine and salt can affect plating over time), showering, or washing your hands

  • applying lotions, oils, perfumes, etc.

  • cleaning, especially with harsh chemicals

  • rings when getting a manicure and necklaces/earrings when having hair treated

Do not use jewelry cleaner on plated items. You can polish these pieces with a damp cloth.

All Merewif pieces come packaged in a jewelry pouch. Save these so you can properly pack your jewelry when traveling.
