What is the difference between gold plated and gold filled jewelry? 

 

The main difference between gold filled and gold plated jewelry is the number of layers. Gold filled is constructed with two or three layers, with the core metal as jewelers’ brass. A gold alloy is bonded to the surface of the brass core with pressure and heat. Unlike gold plated, or electroplated, metals, gold filled is required to contain 5% gold. This 5% gold is usually described by the gold alloy karats. 14k gold filled jewelry is described as 14/20 gold filled, or simply 14k gold filled.
