Gold Filled

Hey all of you gold lovers - Here are some 14 kt gold-filled pieces that I made ...

Everyone enjoys the look of gold at a fraction of the price. But I've noticed that people often ask me "What exactly is gold-filled" ? Gold-filled , or gold overlay , is made by heat and pressure -bonding a thin layer of 14 kt to a brass core . This makes it tarnish resistant and economical . Gold-filled is valued more than gold-plated because gold-filled has an actual layer of karat gold , not just a microscopic film . I buy my 14 kt gold-filled findings from Rio Grande and they guarantee that all of their products meet federal quality standards .
