Is the jewelry adjustable?
We sell the jewelry in sizes to accommodate for all body-types and therefore most of the body-chains are not adjustable.
Can I wear Karlita Designs Jewelry if I am allergic to base metals?
Yes! All chains, earrings, and rings are made out of sterling sliver and gold fill. Gold fill is also known as "rolled gold" or "rolled gold plate" is composed of a solid layer of gold bonded with heat and pressure to a base metal such as brass. Some high quality gold-filled pieces have the same appearance as 14 karat gold. Gold-filled items, even with daily wear, can last five to 30 years but will eventually wear through. You can wear gold fill in water while showering, or washing a dish. However avoid using oils and applying lotion over your jewelry.
