What is Gold filled?
Gold filled is a thick, solid layer of real gold (usually 14K) pressure bonded to a base metal core like brass. It contains 5% solid gold by weight. The thick outer layer is mechanically fused to the core, making it highly resistant to peeling, flaking, and tarnishing.
Why should I choose Gold filled over Gold plated?
Gold-plated jewelry has a very thin gold layer (0.5–2.5 microns) that can wear off within weeks to months, exposing the base metal and causing discoloration or tarnish, Gold filled is up to 100% thicker. Gold plated jewelry often exposes the underlying metal as the plating wears, which can cause irritation or green discoloration on the skin. Gold filled can last anywhere from 10-30 years with proper care, most gold-plated lasts anywhere from 6 months to two years.
