WHAT IS GOLD FILLED?

Gold-filled is the closest alternative to solid gold. Gold filled jewellery has a thick layer of solid gold bonded onto the base layer, usually brass or sterling silver. Compared to gold plated which uses a process of electroplating that quickly dips your jewellery in gold, resulting in a minuscule layer of gold, gold-filled is much more durable and long lasting.

There are 3 basic levels of gold jewellery. Solid gold, gold-filled, and gold plated.

Solid gold contains the most gold, with 24 karat gold containing 100% gold. Gold-filled jewellery typically contains 5% solid gold in weight, while gold plated contains about 0.001% solid gold in weight.
The process of making gold filled jewellery is much different to gold plated jewellery. Gold plated uses an electroplating process that quickly dips your jewellery in gold. With gold-filled, the thick layer of gold is pressure bonded onto the base metal, resulting in a very strong and durable ‘plating’.
Gold-filled lasts 10x more than gold plated, making it hypoallergenic for those who cannot wear gold plated. Longer life times mean you are also producing less waste and saving money over time from having to buy more cheap jewellery.
