What is 18K Gold Filled?
Our Gold Filled jewelry is made from 18K solid gold and filled with other alloys such as rhodium (a member of the platinum family), brass, and sterling silver. Gold filled wears, looks and lasts like solid gold because its outer surface IS 18K SOLID GOLD. Everything you can see and touch is 18K solid gold. the solid gold layer in our 18K gold filled jewelry is thicker, making it less likely to wear away and expose the metal underneath. Gold filled jewelry wears so well, it is considered a life time purchase.
