What is Gold Filled?
Gold filled means that there is a thick layer of solid gold pressure bonded to a high-quality jewelers’ brass core. Because gold filled must be 1/20th (or 5%) pure gold by weight, the result is a high quality, durable piece of jewelry that is the next best thing to solid gold. It will not turn your skin green, will not tarnish and can last a lifetime if cared for properly. It’s a great, more affordable alternative to solid gold that can still be worn every day and best of all, it is hypoallergenic.
