Gold-filled jewellery / jewelry is jewelry composed of a solid layer of gold (typically constituting at least 5% of the item’s total weight) mechanically bonded to a base of either sterling silver or some base metal. Most high quality gold-filled pieces have the same appearance as high 14k gold, and gold-filled items, even with daily wear, can last 10 to 30 years though the layer of gold will eventually wear off exposing the metal underneath. The layer of gold on gold-filled items is 5 to 10 times thicker than that produced by regular gold plating, and 15 to 25 times thicker than that produced by gold electroplate (sometimes stamped HGE for “high grade electroplate” or HGP for “heavy gold plate”, which have neither of them any legal meaning and indicate only that the item is gold plated)
