Gold-filled jewelry is made by mechanically bonding a thick layer of gold (usually 5% of the item’s total weight) to a base metal like brass. It’s not plated—it’s pressure bonded, which means it won’t flake off or tarnish easily. This jewelry can last between 10 and 30 years. 

  • Avoid harsh chemicals: Keep your jewelry away from chlorine, bleach, and household cleaners. These can damage the gold layer.

  • Remove before activities: Take off gold-filled pieces before swimming, showering, exercising, or applying lotions and perfumes.

  • Store properly: Keep items in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratches and tangling. Avoid humid environments like bathrooms.

     
  •  Cleaning Instructions

  • Gentle soap and water: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Soak the jewelry for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.

  • Rinse and dry thoroughly: Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Make sure the piece is completely dry before storing.

  • Polish sparingly: Use a jewelry polishing cloth designed for gold-filled pieces. Avoid abrasive polishing compounds or ultrasonic cleaners.

 

    Long-Term Maintenance

  • Avoid over-cleaning: Gold-filled jewelry has a thick layer of gold, but excessive cleaning or scrubbing can wear it down over time.

  • Professional check-ups: For frequently worn pieces, consider having them professionally cleaned and inspected annually.

  • Watch for wear: If the base metal starts to show through, it may be time to replace or replate the item.

 

    Why Gold-Filled Is Special

  • Thicker gold layer than plated jewelry: Gold-filled pieces contain at least 5% gold by weight, mechanically bonded to a base metal like brass.

  • More durable than gold-plated: With proper care, gold filled jewelry can last 10-30 years without tarnishing or fading.

Stainless steel jewelry is known for its durability, affordability, and sleek modern aesthetic. It’s a popular choice for everyday wear.
