What is Gold Fill Jewelry? "Gold Fill" refers to jewelry that is made by bonding a thin layer of karat gold to a core metal, such as brass. This process creates a durable, high-quality piece that is 5% gold by volume. Unlike gold-plated jewelry, gold fill will not rub off due to the mechanical bonding process.
Benefits of Gold Fill Jewelry: Gold fill is a great alternative to solid gold due to its durability and beauty. It is resistant to tarnishing, rusting, and turning your skin green. Additionally, gold fill is hypoallergenic and rarely irritates sensitive skin, making it a great choice for everyday wear.
Caring for your Gold Fill Jewelry: To ensure the longevity of your gold fill jewelry, it is important to avoid exposure to saltwater, chlorine, sweat, harsh chemicals, and direct contact with products like perfume and lotions. Taking small steps like wiping your jewelry daily with a soft cloth, rinsing it after exercise or exposure to chemicals, and storing it in a dry or air-tight place can help maintain its sheen.
What is Gold Plated Jewelry? 18K gold plated jewelry is made by bonding a layer of 18K gold over a base metal through a process called electroplating. This results in jewelry that has the appearance of solid gold but is more affordable. 18k gold plated jewelry does tarnish over time.
Caring for your Gold Plated Jewelry: To care for 18k gold plated jewelry, it is important to follow these tips:
Avoid exposing the jewelry to water, harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and other substances that can cause the gold plating to wear off.
Store the jewelry in a clean, dry place when not in use. Consider storing it in a cloth bag or jewelry box to prevent scratches and tarnishing.
Clean the jewelry regularly using a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Gently wipe the jewelry with the cloth to remove any dirt or oils that may have accumulated.
Avoid wearing the jewelry during activities that may cause it to become scratched or damaged, such as exercising or doing household chores.
By following these care tips, you can help maintain the appearance and longevity of your 18k gold plated jewelry.
