What is 14K gold filled?
14k gold filled jewelry is made by permanently bonding a thick layer of solid 14k gold to a core of jeweler’s brass using heat and pressure. This creates a high quality metal that looks and feels like solid gold, without the solid gold price. 14k gold filled jewelry is durable, tarnish resistant, and made for everyday wear. Unlike gold plated pieces, it won’t flake, fade, or turn your skin green. Wear our jewelry to the beach, the gym, and everywhere in between!
