Description:
2 beautiful gold filled chains!
Gold-filled jewellery, also known as "rolled gold" or "rolled gold plate" is composed of a solid layer of gold bonded with heat and pressure to a semi-precious base metal. Some high quality gold-filled pieces have the same appearance as 14 karat (58%) gold. In the USA the quality of gold filled is defined by the Federal Trade Commission. If the gold layer is 10kt fineness the minimum layer of karat gold in an item stamped GF. These 2 chains are not the real McCoy, but are the next best thing. or the closest you can get without spending extortionate prices on the real thing. Please read the description, and check the pictures for the stamps and hallmarks. Gold-filled items, even with daily wear, can last five to 30 years but will eventually wear through. The gold layer on gold-plated jewellery varies greatly depending on manufacturer, so there is no single, simple comparison. Gold-filled items are 50 to 100,000 times thicker than regular gold plating, and 17 to 25,000 times thicker than heavy gold electro
