Gold Filled is a high-quality metal that is also budget-friendly. Not only are their manufacturing processes different, but the amount of gold alloy used in Gold Filled pieces is considerably higher than gold-plated. Gold Filled metal is a layer of 14K Gold with a core of jeweler's Brass or Copper.

Gold Filled jewelry has 100x more gold alloy than gold-plated and because that layer is so much thicker, it means Gold Filled jewelry lasts longer and stands up to wear and tear much better than plated. The image below is a great example of the difference between metals. As long as the piece is well cared for, Gold Filled jewelry can last for years.
