Genuine 18K Yellow Gold Filled Italian Figaro Chain Necklace, Many Width/Length Gold filled jewelry is different from gold plated jewelry. Gold filled jewelry is made by heat and pressure bonding a layer (at least 25 micron thickness) of gold to some base metal core. It has all the great characteristics of solid gold jewelry. It does not flake off, tarnish or discolor. Gold filled jewelry is an economical alternative to solid gold.Gold plated is a method of covering another type of metal with a very thin, almost microscopic (usually 0.5-micron thick), film of pure gold by electroplating it.Gold-filled jewelry is much more valuable than gold-plated.
