Gold-Filled
What is 14k Gold-Filled?
Gold-Filled is a premium overlay technique that provides exceptional thickness and durability. Unlike standard gold-plated items, which have a much thinner layer of gold, Gold-Filled jewelry features a layer of gold that is 50 to 100 times thicker. This method, developed in the United States, involves mechanically bonding a substantial layer of 14k gold alloy to a base metal (usually brass), ensuring a long-lasting and robust finish.
What are the Benefits of Gold-Filled?
Gold-Filled jewelry is designed to endure daily wear and can resist exposure to water, maintaining its shine for decades—often over 30 years. It is also nickel-free, significantly minimizing the risk of skin allergies. For those who can wear gold, Gold-Filled provides an excellent alternative, combining beauty, quality and practicality in a hypoallergenic format.
