Gold-Filled jewelry is tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic, and long-lasting, just like Solid Gold. Gold-Filled jewelry has a thick layer of Solid Gold heat and pressure bonded onto the base layer, usually brass or sterling silver.
Unlike Gold Plated Jewelry, which is made by using an electroplating process that quickly dips your jewelry in gold and results in a thin coating, Gold-Filled Jewelry is much more durable and long-lasting.
Gold-Filled Jewelry contains 5% gold by weight and is made by bonding a thick layer of gold to a core metal under heat and pressure, resulting in a much more secure and durable ‘coating’ that does not rub or flake off.
