What is gold filled?
Gold filling is the treatment of a metal (often based on brass) using a mechanical process to apply a layer of gold alloy of varying titration. The weight of gold alloy corresponds to 1/20 of the total weight of the product.
For the more inquisitive, we explain the differences between gold-filled and gold-plated, so you can choose the material that's right for you.
Much more resistant than conventional gold plating, a gold-filled product will oxidize much more slowly.
If you want to further slow down the oxidation process, you should handle these components with gloves and avoid contact with perfumes, skin oils and lotions. You should also store them in a dry, temperate place.
This product is coated with a flash of 14k gold to even out the color.
The gold used in the manufacture of this product is recycled gold.
