• what is 14k gold filled •
gold filled is a strictly regulated process that involves pressure bonding multiple layers of solid 14k gold with extreme heat over a core of high quality jeweler’s brass resulting in a durable, quality, real gold product. Although a gold filled piece of jewelry is not solid gold, it has the same desirable properties and look of solid gold. It will NOT chip flake or peel.
Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating - gold filled is a USA industry standard that legally requires 1/20th, or 5% pure gold by weight and has 100x more layers of solid 14k gold compared to plated jewelry.
• is rose gold filled the same as 14k gold filled •
Yes. The only difference is that rose gold filled jewelry uses solid 14k ROSE gold instead of 14k YELLOW gold. The difference is in the color, not the process or quality.
• how do I clean my gold filled jewelry
The absolutely best thing you can do for your Gold Filled jewelry is to clean occasionally using a little bit of warm water, gentle soap, and a soft cloth to dry and shine after. I simply rub gentle soap over my gold chain with my fingers, rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth. Many chemicals marketed for cleaning jewelry are actually somewhat abrasive or corrosive and may cause damage or color alteration to your jewelry
