what is gold filled?

Our 14K GF jewelry collections are perfect for remembering those special occasions, and will last for decades with proper care - even with daily wear. 


WHAT IS 14K GF (GOLD FILLED)?
14K gold filled is a metal combination that has a solid gold surface and contains 5% gold by weight. Jewelry that is gold plated or vermeil has a much thinner layer of gold than gold filled jewelry. Gold filled jewelry looks like solid gold jewelry at a substantially lower cost.


METAL SENSITIVITIES
Since the surface of gold filled jewelry is solid gold, this type of jewelry is ideal for those who are sensitive to certain metals like nickel.


DURABILITY & CARE
Gold filled jewelry can be worn daily without fading or tarnishing - even in the shower or when applying basic lotions. However, we suggest to remove your gold filled jewelry when swimming (salt water/chlorine) or using stronger facial products that contain strong ingredients like glycolic acid or retinol.
