Why Gold Filled?

What is gold filled?

Gold-filled jewellery stands out as the ultimate choice for those seeking a balance of affordability and durability. Unlike gold-plated items, gold-filled pieces are heat bonded with a substantial layer of solid gold, ensuring they resist tarnishing and wear better over time. With proper care, they can last a lifetime, making them a superior alternative to plated jewellery. Plus, being nickel-free makes them safe for most people with metal allergies. In essence, gold-filled jewelry combines quality, longevity, and value in a way that truly shines.

Gold filled vs Gold plated

Gold Plated: Gold plated jewellery contains only 0.03-0.05% solid gold and is created through electroplating, resulting in a layer that isn’t binded to the base metal. This makes it prone to fading and tarnishing quickly.

Gold Filled: In contrast, gold filled jewellery has a significant 5% solid gold content, bonded through heat and pressure to the base metal, which enhances its durability. While it can tarnish under extreme conditions, the thick layer of gold helps resist tarnishing, making it perfect for everyday wear.
