✨ Is Gold Filled Jewellery Real Gold?

This is a question I get asked a lot — and it's a really good one! Gold filled jewellery is a fantastic option for anyone who wants the look and durability of gold without the full solid gold price tag.

So, What Is Gold Filled?

Gold filled jewellery is made by bonding a thick layer of real gold to a base metal (usually brass) using heat and pressure. It’s not just dipped or plated — it contains up to 100 times more gold than gold plated jewellery.

Is It Real Gold?

Yes — the outer layer is real, solid gold (usually 14k or 12k). That means it looks just like solid gold and is tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic, and safe for daily wear.

Why I Use Gold Filled in My Jewellery

I love using gold filled because it gives you the beauty and warmth of gold, with far better longevity than plated pieces. It’s ideal for:

  • People with sensitive skin

  • Everyday wear

  • Meaningful gifts that will last

How to Care for Gold Filled Jewellery

Treat it with love — avoid harsh chemicals and polish it gently with a soft cloth. Store it in a pouch or box to keep it looking its best.
