What is Gold Filled Jewelry vs. Plated,

and Why Buy It?

Gold filled jewelry is made from solid gold and filled with other alloys such as rhodium (a member of the platinum family), brass, and sterling silver.  Gold filled jewelry items wear, look and last like solid gold items because its outer surface IS solid gold.  Everything you can see and touch is pure gold.  In the jewelry industry the quantity of gold must be at least 1/20th by weight of the total product.

 

Lifetime Products

Gold-Filled (also known as rolled gold) items are generally considered lifetime products.  The gold layer will not wear off, as it will in electroplated products because the layer of gold is pressure-bonded to the other metal. 

 

Excellent Quality and Value For Money

Gold filled jewelry is often called the wave of the future because it offers all the same characteristics as solid gold such as strength, durability and beauty… but at a fraction of the cost!

 

Government Regulated

Gold filled items are regulated by the government.  These items are therefore so much better then gold plated which has no regulations at all.

 

Caring for Gold-Filled Jewlry

Caring for Gold-Filled items is as easy as caring for any gold jewelry. Simply keep away from chemicals, clean regularly with mildly sudsy water, rinse well and pat dry with a non-scratching cloth. Polish gently with a jewelry polishing cloth.
