*Gold filled (GF) technology gold-plated jewelry is many times more durable than standard gold-plated jewelry. GF is a US patented and very durable type of metal. GF jewelry is made at very high temperatures by layering 2 or 3 metals, one of which is gold. According to US law, gold must make up at least 5% of the product's weight. 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.
** 1/20 of the weight of the jewelry is 14K gold, which consists of 58.5% pure gold.
