What Is “Gold-Filled”?
It is a layer of 10Kt or better
gold mechanically bonded under
heat and pressure to one or more
surfaces of a supporting base metal,
then rolled or drawn to a give
thickness.
In the jewelry industry the
quantity of gold must be at least
1/20th by weight of the total
product. Under FTC regulations,
a product may be marked as 14,
12 or 10Kt Gold-Filled. Karat
measurement of gold content must
be part of the marking.
These are minimum standards. Thus
one might find 14/20GF or even
14/10GF as a stamp to denote
1/20 14Kt Gold-Filled and 1/10
14Kt Gold-Filled.
Gold-Filled items are generally
considered life-time products,
and the gold layer will not wear
off, as it will in electroplated
products. We do very occasionally
find an individual who cannot wear
this material, but it is extremely
rare. |
