Gold Filled

WHAT IS GOLD FILLED JEWELLERY?

Gold filled jewellery is crafted by bonding a thick layer of genuine gold onto a base metal, often brass or copper, using heat and pressure. This meticulous process creates a durable and long - lasting piece that mimics the appearance and characteristics of solid gold. With a thicker gold layer than gold - plated alternatives, gold filled jewellery offers affordability without compromising on quality. It provides a cost - effective way to enjoy the elegance of gold, making it an accessible and stylish choice for those seeking timeless adornments. The result is a beautiful and durable piece that stands the test of time, combining the luxury of gold with practical affordability. 

IN A NUTSHELL

14K GOLD - FILLED (1/20) 

This denotes the ratio of the gold's weight to the total weight of the item. In this case, 1/20 means that 1/20th of the total weight is 14K gold. This is a significant layer of gold compared to other gold-plating processes.

14K Gold Filled offers an affordable and excellent tarnish - free, fade - resistant, alternative to solid gold. Just like solid gold, it's durable, hypoallergenic, waterproof, and perfect for all - day wear. Feel free to shower, exercise, or sleep in it – this stylish option will maintain its great look for years to come and, best of all,  costs a fraction of what a comparable 14K gold piece would be!

Furthermore  

WHAT IS 14K GOLD?
This indicates the gold content, and specifically, it means that the item is made with 14 karat gold. Karats are a measure of the purity of gold, with 24 karats being pure gold. So, 14 karats means the gold in the item is alloyed with other metals.  14K gold is composed of 58% pure gold and 42% alloyed metals, making it a popular choice for various types of jewellery, including engagement rings and wedding bands. The alloyed metals are typically copper, silver, or zinc, which contribute to the durability and strength of the gold.
