What is Gold Filled?

14k/20 Gold-fill is a durable metal that lasts longer than gold-plated and is less expensive than solid gold jewellery. In the jewellery industry the quantity of gold must be at least 1/20th by weight of the total product.

Gold filled findings are not gold plate. The process of making gold-filled jewelry is quite different from gold plated – there is 100 times more gold in a 14K gold-filled piece than in the same piece gold plated. Gold filled jewelry wears like solid gold because the outer surface is solid gold. Everything that you can see or touch is a solid layer of 14k gold. 14k Gold-Filled will not chip or wear off. Gold filled jewelry is strong, durable and resistant to tarnish. The gold will not wear off as in plated jewelry. It is nearly impossible to tell a gold filled piece from the same piece in solid gold.
