Gold filled jewellery consists of a thick layer of solid gold that is mechanically bonded to a base metal (usually brass or copper). Unlike gold plating, which has a very thin layer of gold, gold filled jewellery contains at least 5% solid gold by weight, making it much more durable and resistant to tarnishing.
It offers the look and feel of solid gold at a lower price while being more long lasting than gold plated pieces. With proper care, gold filled jewellery can last for many years without fading or peeling.
