Lapis Lazuli Sterling Silver Ring sz. 7.75

14 karat gold filled is a thick layer of real gold that has been "fused" (similar to welding or soldering) with heat and pressure to a base metal. The layer of gold bonds permanently to the metal so the gold surface will not wear off.
Gold filled isverydifferent from gold plating or gold vermeil. Gold plated and vermeil jewelry is known for wearing off and eventually becoming a different color underneath. Likewise, the methods used to create gold plated or vermeil metal are much less complex and can be purchased from Walmart, H&M, Target, and any other big box store for a mere few dollars.

Is 14k gold-filled good quality? Gold-fill is absolutely your best option after solid gold for quality and durability. It will never rub or flake off or turn your skin green and it offers a great option for people with sensitive skin. Gold Filled jewelry is considered lifetime jewelry.

Our ear wires and necklace chain are always either sterling silver or 14 karat gold filled. Both perfect for longevity and for folks with sensitivities to metal. 😎
The pendant part of our pieces (the dangly part) are made of either sterling silver plated brass (a solid thick plate of sterling) or a beautiful raw gold jewelers brass. Both of these materials age and patina so beautifully over time that we have chosen not to apply an “anti-patina” coating to allow for this natural and lovely process to occur. Fluff Hardware gets better with age!

Our accessories are meant to be a treasured staple in your jewelry arsenal and thus, may need to be treated like one. Over the years we have created hundreds of designs, some more durable and adventure proof than others, so here are some tips to help your beautiful pieces last a lifetime.
-- We recommend storing your jewelry in a friction free, dry location. Bathroom storage can speed up the patination process.
-- Do not shower or swim in your jewelry
-- Try to avoid dropping anything with stone or wood in the design.
-- Polish the various metals from time to time unless you like the current patina
-- And lastly, our best tip, don't shove your jewelry in your purse. ;)

Butane Lighter Fluid

Zippo Lighter Fluid

As required by law, lighters shipped from Fluff Hardware are sold empty and do not come pre-filled with fuel. You will need to purchase butane fuel or zippo lighter fuel separately and fill it yourself. We recommend Fasfil 5X Refined Butane Fuel available on Amazon or at your nearest smoke shop (cheaper at the smoke shops for sure!) DO NOT purchase Coleman butane fuel as that is designed specifically for camp stoves. Or Zippo Lighter Fuel (for all wick types) available on Amazon or at your nearest smoke shop (cheaper at the smoke shops for sure!)

Local? Stop by and see us, and we’ll do your first fill up on the house—because your adventures deserve a proper spark. 🔥

All online orders will be shipped with rubber gloves for use when filling your lighter.

Our current handling time is up to 10 business days (Monday–Friday). We often ship out sooner, but since every piece of Fluff Hardware is handmade by real humans in the USA—under great working conditions we’re proud of—we simply can’t compete with Amazon-speed (and we’re okay with that 💁‍♀️).

That said, if you’ve selected Free Local Pickup, your item is often ready a little sooner! Need it even faster? Give either of our Boise retail locations a call—we’ll happily check in-store availability for you.

During busy seasons (like November/December), handling time may increase slightly. If you're on a deadline or just want an update, feel free to call, text, or email our Production Studio. We love to make magic happen for you when we can.
