Far more than plating
The key difference from gold plating: hot lamination fuses the gold to the base metal, while plating merely deposits a thin layer through electrolysis. A Gold Filled piece bears the hallmark 'GF 14K 1/20', guaranteeing a minimum of 5% 14-karat gold. This generous gold thickness allows it to withstand water, perspiration and daily wear without tarnishing or peeling — with proper care, Gold Filled jewelry can last decades.
