Why Gold-filled?
CED pieces use genuine 14/20 gold-filled jewelry to ensure your pieces shine for a lifetime!
- Composition: Gold-filled jewelry consists of a solid layer of gold that is mechanically bonded to a base metal, usually brass or copper. The gold layer is significantly thicker than in gold-plated items.
- Process: Gold is bonded to the base metal through heat and pressure. This process ensures that the gold layer is durable and long-lasting.
- Thickness: The gold layer in gold-filled jewelry is typically 5% or more of the total weight of the piece (by law). This means it's over 100 times thicker than gold plating.
- Durability: Because of its thicker layer of gold, gold-filled jewelry is more resistant to tarnishing and can withstand everyday wear better than gold-plated items.
- Value: Gold-filled jewelry is more valuable than gold-plated jewelry because of the greater amount of gold used.
In summary, if you want durable, long-lasting jewelry that keeps its shine and stands up to daily adventures, gold-filled is your trusty hero!
