In the present economy, inflation is rampant, and costs are increasing across the board. The prices of eggs, gas, and everything in between are on the rise– jewelry included. A great way to cut costs while maintaining quality is investing in gold filled jewelry. Gold filled is a more affordable alternative to solid gold jewelry while still offering the same luxurious look and feel.
What is Gold Filled
Let’s start with the metal. Gold filled findings use a karat gold overlay bonded to a brass inner core. JK Findings manufactures gold filled with 1/20th 14 karat gold, meaning it is 5% 14 karat gold by weight.
Gold filled jewelry has the same appearance as gold jewelry but costs much less. Gold filled is more valuable than gold plated and vermeil. The following video helps to explain the difference between gold, gold filled, and gold plated. What is gold filled
