What is Gold Filled? Gold filled is a layer of real gold bonded to another metal. Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plate as filled has 100% more gold than plated gold. Gold filled is much more valuable and tarnish resistant & does not flake off. Most anyone who can wear gold can wear gold filled without fear of allergic reaction to the metal. Gold filled items are regulated by the government and are, consequently, of a higher quality than gold plated components. By law this layer of karated gold has to be at least 1/20 of the total weight of the metal portion of the piece. Gold filled jewelry is made from a hollow tube of 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 solid gold. approx 1 inch in diameter 14k rose gold filled wire hand made just for you
