2. Precious Metal & Lab-Grown Diamond Disclosures

We endeavor to present accurate product descriptions, gold karat weights, diamond carat totals, and pricing. Precious Metal & Gemstone Origin Disclosure: All gold jewelry offered by Carat Goods is crafted from solid 14K (585) or 18K (750) gold alloys—never gold-plated or gold-filled base metals. All diamonds set in Carat Goods pieces are certified laboratory-grown diamonds possessing identical optical, chemical, and physical crystal structures to earth-mined diamonds. Independent Fine Jewelry Brand Notice: Carat Goods is an independent designer and retailer of solid gold and lab-grown diamond jewelry. Carat Goods is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, Mejuri, Vrai, or Hardy Brothers. Any comparative references are made strictly for standard chain link styles (e.g., Curb, Box, Tennis), carat millimeter sizing, and consumer guidance. Carat Goods reserves the right to correct any inadvertent inaccuracies at any time without prior notice.

3. Fine Chain Handling, Chemical Avoidance & Clasp Maintenance Advisory

FINE GOLD CHAIN & CLASP CARE WARNING: Solid 14K and 18K gold chains and tennis bracelets are precision-linked precious metal pieces. Remove fine chains and bracelets prior to sleeping, heavy gym lifting, contact sports, or swimming in chlorinated pools and saltwater oceans (chlorine degrades gold solder joints over time, while sudden snagging can stretch or kink delicate links). Always fasten both the primary box clasp tongue and the side figure-eight safety latch before wearing, and store chains laid flat or hung individually to prevent tangling. Clean periodically in lukewarm water with mild dish soap and a soft brush. Carat Goods is not liable for broken chains caused by accidental snagging or pulling, or solder weakening resulting from frequent chlorine pool exposure.
