What is Gold-Filled?

Gold-filled is a high quality gold product that is gaining popularity throughout the Americas, Asia and Europe.  The product is easy to care for and will maintain its golden shine for a lifetime. Unlike plated (aka electroplated or "dipped") metals, Gold-filled is legally required to contain 5% or 1/20 gold by weight.  This creates a gold layer hundreds of times thicker than plated jewelry, and also hundreds of times more durable. This very durable layer of gold holds up so well because it is bonded with heat and pressure over a color matched jewelers bronze and not electro-plated. Our Gold-filled items are 14kt gold-filled. 14k Gold-filled products are identified as 14/20 Gold-filled;  or alternatively, 14kt Gold-Filled. We have been making gold-filled jewelry for over 30 years and give a lifetime guarantee on the finish. We have had no returns or issues so far!!

Care and Cleaning

Gold-filled does not de-laminate or peel like plated or "dipped" products. Nor does it tarnish as readily as silver. Many owners find that they never have to clean gold-filled items at all. However, from time to time your jewelry may become dirty from everyday wear. To clean gold-filled it is best to use mild soap and water. Hot weather and water will not damage the material.

Beware of some companies selling plated jewelry as "gold-filled" - it is not the same thing! Generally speaking, gold filled is better quality and is much longer lasting than plated jewelry.
