Gold Filled, also known as "rolled gold", is a jewelry-making technique that combines robustness, aesthetics and value for money. Unlike simple gold plating, a Gold Filled primer incorporates a layer of gold (often 14 carat / 585 thousandths) mechanically soldered to a metal core, usually brass. This layer of gold must represent at least 1/20ᵉ of the coin's total weight (≈ 5%).
Just like Gold, Gold Filled also has its pink Gold Filled version! It's up to you to create gold filledcostume jewelry !
