I use 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26 gauge wires in Fine silver, Argentium & Sterling Silver, 14k Solid yellow and rose gold wires, and 14k yellow and rose gold-filled wire. I adorn my jewelry with tiny, exotic, colorful beads made of glass, wood, crystal and semi-precious and precious stones.

Gold-Filled Wires: Unless specified in the item listing, the gold and rose gold wires used in my jewelry are "14k gold filled wire" - meaning it's a hollow tube of 14k gold that's fused with a base metal core of jewelers brass (which may contain copper and zinc.). Gold-filled wire can last just as long as solid gold wire and should be cleaned & cared for as you would with solid gold pieces. If you have a base metal allergy, I recommend buying solid gold or fine silver pieces.

If you plan to keep your silver jewelry in for months at a time, the wire will naturally oxidize tarnish / darken over time, especially where the metal rests inside the body. This can happen more quickly for some people depending on the environment (climate, your body chemistry, exposure to some chemicals or even cosmetics or medications.)
Silver can be cleaned regularly with tarnish removing silver cleaner to keep it shiny. You can also use the cleaner on 14k gold fill items as some oxidation may occur at the wire ends where the base metal core is exposed.
Regular cleaning with gold cleaning solution and or washing it with a mild dish soap will help too.

I can make many of my nose rings into a faux or cuff ring for those who don't have a piercing, or I can modify nose rings for an ear lobe or cartilage piercing.

*Please note that my jewelry is for healed piercings only. Everything is hand-crafted in a clean environment but should be washed with warm soapy water before wearing.
