About Gold-Filled Jewelry
Gold-filled jewelry is composed of a solid layer of gold, bonded with heat and pressure to a base metal such as brass. Some high quality gold-filled pieces have the look, luster, and beauty of 14 karat (58 percent) gold. By definition, the minimum layer of karat gold in an item stamped GF must equal at least 1/20 the weight of the total item. The most common stamp you will find on gold-filled jewelry is 1/20 12kt GF.
