♦What is Gold filled?

In the process of Gold filled, multiple layers of Gold are bonded with very high heat and pressure onto a base metal, so it is 100 times more gold than gold plating. That's equaling 5% of pure Gold.

Gold Filled jewelry is much more valuable and durable than Gold plated or electroplated, resisting daily wear, sweat, and tarnishing.  It's more affordable and the best alternative to solid Gold.
Gold plated can rub off very easily and tarnish quickly (especially in a humid area) when Gold filled jewelry lasts for many years.

♦ What is Gold plated over Sterling Silver?

Gold over sterling silver, commonly known as Gold Vermeil, is significantly more durable than standard gold plated jewelry due to both the thickness of the gold layer and the quality of the base metal. 

Gold Vermeil requires a minimum of 2.5 microns of gold plating over sterling silver, whereas standard gold plating consists of a much thinner gold layer that may wear off quickly with daily use. 

More importantly, the Sterling Silver base provides superior durability compared to the brass or stainless steel bases commonly used in cheaper gold plated items.

In contrast, standard Gold plated jewelry often exposes base metals that oxidize quickly, leading to discoloration and potential skin staining. That's why the combination of thicker plating and a noble base metal makes Gold over Sterling Silver a far more durable and longer-lasting choice, typically lasting years with proper care rather than months.
