ABOUT 14k GOLD FILLED:

*Gold filled is the next level and is an amazing, quality alternative to solid gold

*Gold plating is the lower level and these items tend to tarnish and can often times turn the skin green. Gold filled is an actual layer of gold-pressure bonded to another metal.

*If you can wear gold jewelry without skin sensitivity, you can most likely wear gold filled!

*Many owners find that they never have to clean gold-filled items at all. If it's necessary, clean gold-filled using mild soap and water. Hot weather and water will not damage the material

*During the mid to late Victorian period, gold filled jewelry was very common and was manufactured in large numbers.
