14 karat gold filled is NOT something filled with gold. It is gold filled with something. 14 karat gold filled is where heat and pressure is used to bond a layer of not less than 1/20th by weight of 14 karat gold to a core of base metal. It is much more durable than gold plate and will not flake or peel when bent, hammered or heated. For more information about 14 Karat Gold Filled jewelry see my Gold Filled jewelry page.
