If made of precious metal alloy like sterling silver instead of clad base metal

If sold as a set with matching earrings or bracelet

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify cladding method (soldering, brazing, or hot-rolling) meets 'clad with precious metal' definition; electroplating disqualifies from this code
• Obtain assay certificates proving gold cladding thickness and base metal composition to avoid reclassification during customs exam
• Label as 'gold-clad' not 'gold' to comply with FTC jewelry guidelines and prevent misdeclaration penalties
