Which lock should i use?
When choosing a lock for your jewelry there are some things to consider. You need to think about the size of the lock and think about the user of the jewelry. If the user is older or has fine motor challenges it is a good idea to choose a slightly larger lock.
Also, choose lock in relation to the size of the beads that are closest to the lock. If you have some very large beads with a small lock, it can be almost impossible to open and close the lock.
 The material from which the lock is made is also significant. It is best if the jewelry parts used are of the same material as they are in this way aging and wearing the same way. Which material The lock is made of is also essential for durability.

How long does a gilding hold?
It is difficult to indicate exactly how long a gilding lasts. For example, gilded brass can be discolored by a snap by contact with seawater or chlorine water. The water goes into chemical reaction with the brass under the gold and becomes reddish brown.
The way you use the jewelry, how often and how much you use it determines how long a gilding lasts. But also the body's chemistry can change the surface of the metals. There may also be a difference in how long a gilding keeps depending on whether it is earrings, necklaces and bracelets.
Necklaces and bracelets usually have more skin contact than earrings and therefore more wear on gilded bracelets and necklaces than on gilded earrings.
