Gold filled, not to be confused with gold plated, is made by heat and pressure bonding a thin layer of karat gold to a base metal core (usually brass). 14k gold covers the brass surface, making it tarnish resistant. The value of gold filled is greater than gold-plated because gold filled has an actual layer of karat gold, not just a microscopic film. Gold filled jewelry is economical. Your customers enjoy the warm tones of gold at a fraction of the cost of solid gold.
