What is Gold Filled?

I'm always striving to increase the quality and value of the products I make, and occasionally make my jewellery from gold filled findings, rather than just gold plated.

What is gold filled? Gold filled or gold overlay is a process of pressure bonding a thin layer of gold to a base metal core (usually brass). Gold filled (unlike gold plating) has an actual layer of gold, giving it more value and making it tarnish-resistant.
