Gold-filled is a fantastic and affordable alternative to solid gold. Gold filled jewelry is created through the application of a strong solid gold layer on a base metal with heat and pressure.
Gold-filled is not to be confused with gold-plated as there is 50 to 100 times more gold in a gold-filled product than in a gold plated one. Gold-filled is much more valuable and durable than gold-plated; it does not flake, fade nor change color— even in water. Gold-filled jewelry can be worn daily for over ten years before showing any signs of damage. Anyone who can wear gold can wear gold-filled without any risk of allergy.
