What is gold-filled jewelry?
Gold filled jewelry consists of a thick layer of solid 18K gold mechanically bonded to a base metal (premium brass). It contains at least 5% gold by weight, making it much thicker and more durable than gold-plated pieces.
Is it real gold?
Yes! the outer layer is authentic 18K gold. While it isn't "solid gold" all the way through, the gold layer is substantial and won't rub off or flake like plated jewelry.
Will it turn my skin green?
No. The gold layer is so thick, your skin only interacts with the 18K gold. It is generally safe for people with sensitive skin or metal allergies.
How is it different from gold-plated jewelry?
Gold-plated jewelry is dipped in gold and can wear off. Gold-filled jewelry is bonded under high heat and pressure, meaning it won't chip, peel, or wear through for years (or even decades) with proper care.
Can i wear my gold-filled jewelry in the shower?
Yes! Gold-filled jewelry is water resistant. However, to keep is shining as long as possible, we recommend avoiding harsh chemicals found in soaps, shampoos, and chlorine in pools or salt in ocean.
How long will it last?
With gentle care, gold-filled jewelry can last 10 to 30 years. It is the closet thing to solid gold without the high price tag.
How do I clean my pieces?
A quick rinse with mild soapy water and a soft cloth is all you need. Avoid abrasive jewelry cleaners or polishing cloths that contain harsh chemicals, as they can wear down the gold over time.
Does gold-filled jewelry tarnish?
