What is gold filled?
Gold filled jewelry features a thick layer of solid 14k gold permanently bonded over a base metal, offering the look and longevity of fine jewelry at an accessible price point. Because the gold layer is substantially thicker than standard plating, gold filled pieces are designed for everyday wear and are safe to wear in water. To preserve their shine and finish over time, we recommend avoiding direct contact with chemicals found in lotions, perfumes, and soaps.
Gold filled jewelry is highly resistant to tarnishing when properly cared for. Over time, exposure to chemicals, moisture, and oils may dull the finish, but regular gentle cleaning can help maintain its shine.
