About Gold-filled

Gold

All our gold jewelry is available in recycled and ethically sourced 14k gold filled metal.

Gold-filled jewelry is long lasting, much higher quality than gold-plated, hypoallergenic and an affordable alternative to solid gold.

 

Gold filled explained

Gold filled jewelry, unlike gold plated or gold vermeil, is made of a thick layer of genuine 14 karat gold securely bonded to a brass core using pressure and high heat.

Gold filled is not gold plated or gold vermeil jewellery!

This unique process not only ensures longevity but also renders gold filled jewelry hypoallergenic, making it a safer choice for those with sensitive skin.

The gold layer in gold plated or vermeil jewelry, on the other hand, is usually only between 0.25 microns and 2.5 microns thick and will soon peel and flake off, even with the heaviest plating of 5 microns, which is only 0.005 of a millimeter.

Gold filled jewelry contains over 100 times more gold than gold plated or vermeil jewelry, and by law, the gold layer must make up at least 5% or 1/20 of the total weight.

Furthermore, the process of creating gold fill metals does not require the use of chemicals like gold plating does.

Therefore, gold fill is not only higher quality and longer-lasting but also a lot kinder to the environment than gold plated or gold vermeil.
