what is gold filled?

gold filled is a process where 14k - 18k sheets of solid gold are heat bonded to a base metal of either brass or copper. this process makes gold filled materials stronger, more durable and resistant to tarnishing. gold filled materials have a value of 5% its weight in gold over gold plated materials which have a value of 0.05% of its weight in gold. the life span of gold filled pieces ranges anywhere between 10-30 years with proper care.
