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.
