What is Gold-Filled?
- Construction: Gold-filled jewelry is made by mechanically bonding a thick sheet of karat gold to a base metal (usually brass) using heat and pressure.
- Durability: It is significantly thicker and more durable than gold plating (often 50 to 100,000 times thicker), allowing it to last between 5 and 30 years with regular wear without the gold wearing off.
