What is 14k Gold filled Jewelry?
Gold-filled jewelry, also known as “rolled gold” or “rolled gold plate” is composed of a solid layer of gold bonded with heat and pressure to a base metal such as brass. We all know that gold is not inexpensive, and these days the price is going upwards of $500 an ounce. So I offer an economical alternative with 14 karat gold filled jewelry. By law, it has 1/20th by weight layer of 14 karat gold permanently bonded over a core of base metal. Under normal wear with reasonable care that you would give any precious metal jewelry, 14KGF jewelry will not peel or flake and can be treasured as heirloom pieces. It is tarnish-resistant like solid 14 karat gold and is safe for most people with sensitive skin who can wear solid 14 karat gold jewelry.
