Welcome to Cita's Treats.

I specialize in selling high quality costume jewellery at affordable prices. All products are beautifully crafted to give the appearance of 9ct gold to achieve an authentic and fashionable look. Suitable for individuals who may be allergic to plated products, all products are long lasting with proper due care. For those who may not have knowledge of this type of jewellery, I have provided in more detail below what gold filled jewellery is:

"Gold-filled jewellery, also known as "rolled gold" is the new 21st century method of plating, which is composed of a thin layer of gold that is mechanically bonded with heat and pressure to another non expensive metal such as brass, which makes it resilient to chipping. Crystal glass is used as a simulant, to give the appearance of a cubic zirconia stone.

Gold-filled jewellery has the same appearance as solid 9ct gold, and is far more durable than gold plated, even with daily wear. As this is nickel free, 9ct gold-filled jewellery is a perfect solution for people with sensitive skin. If you can wear solid gold, it is highly unlikely that gold-filled jewellery will cause irritation.

While gold-filled components must include gold that is at least 1/20th the weight of the entire piece, gold-plated components can have gold that only makes up a very tiny percentage. As such, gold-plated jewellery items are more prone to tarnishing as well as having the thin layer of gold eventually rubbing off than similar products made from gold-filled and with proper due care gold filled items can last a lifetime but can be prone to tarnishing like other metals i.e. sterling silver. (Please do not take this as solid gold or gold plated jewellery). This type of jewellery does not have hallmark stamps..

All products are made up of the same materials which are - Alloy, Environmental Brass, Cubic Zirconia Simulant (Crystal Glass). Materials used are nickel-free, and should not cause any allergic reactions (i.e. green turned or swollen earlobes).

Products range from women's earrings, men's earrings, bracelets and chains so there's something here for everyone.

Both 1st class and 2nd class postage is available, as well as international postage for countries within Europe. I charge £1.08 first class, 88p second class and £1.67 for international. This may seem pricey but first class cost 98p, second class 78p and international £1.57 so i only put 10p on original prices to cover packing and postal materials. Combined postage is offered as well, each additional item cost is 5p. All products are sent in a organza bag and securely packaged.

Please be advised that due to the nature of the products being sold, I will not be accepting returns for hygiene reasons. All descriptions and pictures are accurate and all items are highly inspected before dispatch. But if item is broken or faulty then I'd be willing to offer a replacement or refund

(ONLY ORIGINAL PRICE OF ITEM WILL BE REFUNDED, NOT POSTAL COST)
