FAQs
What Is Gold-Filled Jewelry?
Gold-filled jewelry is made by bonding a thick layer of real gold to a core metal using heat and pressure. This process creates pieces that are significantly more durable than gold-plated jewelry.
How Is Gold-Filled Different From Gold-Plated?
Gold-filled jewelry contains much more gold than plated jewelry. Because the gold layer is thicker, it does not wear off as quickly and also maintains its color and finish with proper care.
Will It Tarnish Or Turn My Skin Green?
With normal wear, gold-filled jewelry does not turn skin green or flake like plated jewelry. It is designed to hold its finish for years, not weeks.
Is Gold-Filled Safe For Sensitive Skin?
Yes. Gold-filled jewelry is generally well-tolerated by people with sensitive skin because the gold layer acts as a protective barrier between your skin and the base metal.
Can I Wear It Every Day?
Yes. Our gold-filled pieces are designed for daily wear, including work, errands, and everyday routines. Occasional contact with water, such as hand-washing or sweating, is fine.
Can I Shower Or Sleep In It?
Our jewelry is designed for everyday wear and can be worn while sleeping. Gold-filled jewelry can handle light water exposure, but for best longevity, we recommend removing before showering or swimming whenever possible.
How Long Will Gold-Filled Jewelry Last?
With proper care, gold-filled jewelry can last many years. It is a long-lasting alternative to plated jewelry and a more accessible option than solid gold.
