14/20 Gold Filled Jewellery

14/20 Gold-Filled means that 5% (or 1/20th) of the item's total metal weight is genuine 14-karat (14ct) gold, mechanically bonded to a base-metal core using heat and pressure.   It contains roughly 100 times more gold than standard gold plating, resists tarnish, and lasts for years or even decades of regular wear. Buyer Beware: In some regions or markets, "14K Gold-Filled" can be misleadingly used for items that are merely gold-plated. Always check for proper marking such as 1/20 14K GF or 14/20 GF to ensure you are getting the true 5% gold

What is 14/20 Gold Filled jewellery?
In some parts of the world, a piece of jewellery will be described as gold filled and gold plated in the same advertisement, but not in the USA.   In the USA, anything labelled Gold Filled is LEGALLY required to be 5% or 1/20 gold by weight. The gold may be 10, 12, or 14 carat (10K, 12K, 14K). By comparison, gold plating is a minuscule layer of gold and can not be legally called Gold Filled in the USA. Gold plating is estimated to be 0.05% or less of the metal product and it wears off.

Our jewellery range is 14/20 Gold-Filled which means 1/20 of the weight is 14ct gold.  14ct gold is richer in colour and more tarnish resistant than 9ct gold. The quality mark may be abbreviated to 14/20 GF. The numbers “14/20” in front of the “Gold Filled” label is your assurance that the item is NOT gold plated.
