Product & Quality
What is 18K gold-filled jewelry?
18K gold-filled jewelry consists of a thick layer of gold pressure-bonded to a base metal. It has more gold than gold-plated, offering the beauty of solid gold at a fraction of the price, with high durability and long-lasting shine when properly cared for.
