Me and my Brand
Hi there!
My name is Rachel and I want to first thank you for exploring my website! I'm a 21 year old senior at Penn State University. I have always had a passion for being creative and making jewelry. It wasn't until 2 years ago that I realized other people might be interested in the jewelry that I was making too. I have been selling my jewelry for over 2 years now and have decided to get more serious about growing my business! I have a lot to learn but I am so excited to take these first steps into the entrepreneurship world!
The inspiration behind Coastal Blu is creativity and uniqueness . Since I am constantly creating new designs, there are a limited amount of stock for each piece released. This means that your piece is unique to you and a select few, which I find very special. All of my jewelry is crafted with thought and care. For all my beach bums out there, this collection has your name all over it.
I hope you love my pieces as much as I do and please fell free to reach out with any questions. I am more than happy to help :)
Materials Matter
All of our jewelry is made with 14k gold-filled metals.
Gold filled metals are made by mechanically bonding a thick layer of 14k gold to a base metal. The gold layer on GOLD-FILLED jewelry consists of at least 5% of its weight. Whereas the gold bonded on GOLD-PLATTED jewelry only consists of about 0.05%. This is why gold-plated tends to tarnish in a matter of days.
In short, GOLD-FILLED will last longer and can be worn in water without tarnish.
You should still be sure to take proper care of your jewelry to keep it looking clean and new. Storing your jewelry in a dry place and cleaning it often with a polishing cloth are practices that will ensure a longer life for your favorite pieces whether they are from Coastal Blu or somewhere else.
