Feminine yet sleek, this 18-inch yellow-gold-filled necklace combines champagne-colored freshwater cultured pearls with a round cloisonne pendant. On the pendant are flowers with pink buds that complement the champagne pearls, along with red centers, green leaves, and dark brown branches. Set on a blue background with green scrolling, the flowers create a tiny garden that will look marvelous with a feminine blouse or a long-sleeved knit shirt. Adjust the necklace to just the right height with the lobster-claw clasp and adjustable chain. 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%) 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. 1/20 12kt GF is the most common stamp you will find on gold-filled jewelry.
