What's the difference between gold filled and gold plated?
Gold filled jewelry is made by a process called pressure-bonding, where a solid layer of gold (approximately 5% gold by weight) is bonded to a core made of brass. In contrast, gold plating involves applying a very thin layer of gold (less than 0.05%) over a base metal. Gold filled jewelry is considered to be of high quality and is the next best option after solid gold.
