Gold-filled jewelry is a type of jewelry that consists of a solid layer of gold that is mechanically bonded to a base metal, such as sterling silver or copper. The term “gold-filled” refers to the specific process by which gold is bonded onto the base metal using heat and pressure, which is different from the more contemporary method of electroplating. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of the United States regulates gold-filled jewelry and requires that it must contain at least 5% real gold by weight, with the gold being 9K or more. This ensures that gold-filled jewelry has an inherent value and makes it the most durable and long-lasting type of jewelry 1. Gold-filled jewelry is a great affordable-but-quality alternative to solid gold, as it offers the same luxurious look and feel at a fraction of the cost 1. It is less susceptible to tarnishing than other types of jewelry, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear.
