What's the difference between Gold-Filled vs Gold-Plated? Gold-Filled generally lasts much longer than most electroplated jewelry when looking for a wallet-friendly alternative to sold 14k gold. What is Gold-Filled? Gold-filled jewelry is jewelry composed of a solid layer of gold (typically constituting at least 5% of the item's total weight) mechanically bonded to a base of either sterling silver or some base metal (jewelers' brass). In the United States, the quality of gold-filled jewelry is defined by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). If the gold layer is 12kt or higher, the minimum layer of karat gold in an item stamped "GF" must equal at least 1/20th the total weight of the item. The most common stamps found on gold-filled jewelry are 1/20 12kt GF and 1/20 14kt GF. Gold Filled is a quality material that is common in all types of jewelry. The product is easy to care for and will usually maintain its golden shine for years. Gold-filled is constructed in two or three layers. The core metal is jewelry'brass. A gold alloy is then bonded to one or both surfaces of the brass core with heat and pressure. Unlike plated (aka electroplated or "dipped") metals, Our Gold-filled items are 14K gold-filled. You will find the mark of "14K GF " at the bottom of our bead ball stud earrings. What is Gold Plate? - Gold plating is a miniscule layer of solid gold applied to a brass base or sterling silver. The plating does not compose any measurable proportion of the products total weight. It is estimated to be 0.05% or less of the metal product. Gold plating will generally wear off quickly. It does not stand up to heat, water or wear over time.
