1. What is Gold-Filled Jewelry?

Definition & Composition

  • Gold-filled jewelry consists of a thick layer of gold (5% or more by weight) mechanically bonded to a base metal (usually brass or copper).

  • Unlike gold plating, which is electrochemically applied in microns, gold-filled jewelry has 100x more gold content, making it far more durable.

Legal Standards for Gold-Filled Jewelry

  • US FTC Requirements: Must contain at least 5% gold by weight (e.g., 14K gold-filled = 5% 14K gold + 95% base metal).

  • Common Markings: “14K GF” (Gold-Filled), “1/20 14K GF” (1/20th gold by weight).

Comparison with Other Gold Jewelry Types

Type Gold Content Durability Price Range
Solid Gold 75% (18K) Extremely High $$$$
Gold-Filled 5%+ by weight Very High $$
Gold-Plated <0.05% micron layer Low $
Vermeil 2.5+ microns over sterling silver Medium $$$

Conclusion: Gold-filled offers near-solid-gold durability at a fraction of the cost.

2. Why Choose Gold-Filled Over Gold-Plated or Solid Gold?

A. Cost Efficiency Without Sacrificing Quality

  • More affordable than solid gold but far more durable than gold plating.

  • Ideal for brands targeting mid-range luxury consumers.

B. Durability for Everyday Wear

  • Does not flake or fade quickly like gold-plated jewelry.

  • Resists tarnishing better than sterling silver.

C. Hypoallergenic Benefits

  • Nickel-free options available, reducing skin irritation risks.
