Gold filled jewellery comprises a solid layer of gold (14k) permanently pressure bonded to a base metal, such as brass. Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating. Gold filled jewellery is much more valuable than jewellery that is gold plated.

In order for something to be considered gold filled, it must have a gold content of at least 1/20th the total weight of the item.

It is very hard wearing and under normal wear the gold will not peel or flake, unlike gold plate. It won’t tarnish and will not rub off or turn colours.

Gold filled jewellery can be worn daily without fear of fading or rubbing off. 14k gold fill jewellery, providing proper care is carried out, can last a lifetime.

Wearers who are sensitive to certain metals can wear gold filled without worries of an allergic reaction.

It is commonly used as a more affordable alternative to pure gold as although a gold filled piece of jewellery is not solid gold, it has the same desirable properties and look of solid gold.

To ensure gold filled jewellery stays looking lovely, it’s best to keep treatment simple – by gently polishing with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. It’s important to note that many chemicals marked for cleaning jewellery can be abrasive and damage 14k gold filled jewellery.
