Is Gold Filled Jewelry Costume Jewelry?

Gold Filled jewelry is fine jewelry that never goes out of style and can be worn beautifully with all tastes and preferences in fashion. How Do I Care For My Gold Filled Jewelry? Frequent cleaning is recommended to maintain its true beauty. Salt water, chlorine in swimming pools, soap and perspiration will take their toll on all fine jewelry. Your jewelry will keep longer if you wipe your jewelry carefully with a soft cloth to keep it clean and free of these elements which oxidize. What is Vermeil?
