Gold-Filled vs. Gold-Plated: Why We Choose Gold-Filled

Gold-filled jewelry is made by bonding a thick layer of gold alloy to a metal base, containing 100x more gold than gold-plated jewelry. This makes gold-filled pieces much more durable and resistant to wear and tear. Unlike gold-plated jewelry, which can easily show signs of damage (like scratches exposing the base metal), gold-filled jewelry is built to last much longer with proper care.

Gold-plated jewelry, on the other hand, has a very thin layer of gold that’s susceptible to damage from heat, water, and regular wear. Over time, the plating can wear off, revealing the metal beneath.

In summary:

  • Gold-filled is more durable, stands up to wear and tear, and can last a lifetime with proper care.
  • Gold-plated is less durable, more prone to damage, and can wear off over time.
