Gold filled jewellery is a real classic — timeless, gorgeous and (bonus) a bit easier to care for than silver!
It’s also an amazing choice if you want something durable and luxurious without the solid gold price tag.
What is gold filled jewellery?
Gold filled jewellery has a thick layer of real gold bonded to a base metal (like brass) using heat and pressure. It's much more hard-wearing than gold plated jewellery — meaning it won’t flake or rub off easily, and with the right care, it can last for many years.
But even gold filled pieces need a little bit of love to stay looking shiny and fresh. Whether you have a dainty gold ring, a chunky pendant, or a custom-made piece, here’s how to keep your gold filled jewellery sparkling:
-
Take it off for rough jobs (like gardening, DIY, or sweaty gym sessions).
-
Keep it away from chemicals like perfume, sunscreen, and cleaning sprays.
-
Give it a gentle clean with warm water, a mild soap, and a very soft cloth or brush.
-
Store it separately to avoid scratches — gold is softer than you think!
Gold filled jewellery doesn’t tarnish the way silver can, but it can lose its shine if it’s not cared for properly. With a bit of love, your handmade gold filled jewellery will stay looking absolutely lush for years to come.
