• Gold-filled jewelry is composed of a solid layer of gold (much thicker than gold plating) that is bonded to a base of another metal, such as sterling silver or copper. While gold-filled jewelry is cheaper than solid gold jewelry, it is actually more durable due to its density and quantity of gold layering and shines brightly even with decades of wear.
