WHAT IS GOLD FILLED?

GOLD FILLED JEWELRY IS CREATED BY PRESSURE BONDING AN ACTUAL LAYER OF SOLID GOLD TO ANOTHER PIECE OF METAL; IN OUR CASE, WE USE BRASS. IT HAS THE SAME LOOK AS SOLID GOLD, FOR A MORE ECONOMICAL PRICE, AND REALLY HOLDS UP VERY WELL TOO. WHEN PURCHASING A GOLD FILLED PIECE, IT WILL NOT BE SUBJECTED TO TARNISHING, IT WON'T RUB OFF, OR TURN ANY COLORS. GOLD FILLED ACCESSORIES ARE BUILT TO LAST FOR MANY YEARS OF DAILY WEAR. THE LAYER OF GOLD USED IS SIGNIFICANTLY THICKER THAN ONE FOUND ON A GOLD PLATED PIECE. MOST PEOPLE WITH METAL SENSITIVITIES CAN WEAR GOLD FILLED PIECES WITHOUT HAVING ANY REACTIONS; UNLESS YOU ARE A PERSON WITH A BRASS OR GOLD ALLERGY. YOU'D EXPECT GOLD FILLED JEWELRY TO BE A MORE POPULAR OPTION THAN IT ACTUALLY IS, BUT NOT MANY BRANDS SELL GOLD FILLED PIECES. IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND A BRAND THAT DOES, CHANCES ARE, THE MARK UP IS INSANE. IN THAT CASE, THANK GOD YOU FOUND US! WE PRICE OUR GOLD FILLED PIECES VERY FAIRLY.
