The necklace is delicate and elegant with decorative segments and authentic markings of “BB” (Binder Brothers) in two overlapping circles. Binder Brothers Inc., founded in the 1920s in New York, was one of the most well-known manufacturers of high-quality gold-filled chains and accessories in the United States. *Gold filled (GF) jewelry is many times more durable than standard gold plated jewelry.GF is a patented and very durable type of metal in the USA. GF jewelry is made by layering 2 or 3 metals, one of which is gold, at very high temperatures. Gold filled gilding is performed by layering gold around the base metal, forming several layers of pure gold, carefully and several times enveloping the entire product. In this way, gold plated jewelry does not change from contact with the skin, does not cause allergies, and is not afraid of water.
