What is Gold Filled and how is it different from Gold Plating?

Gold-filled does not have gold in the middle, nor is it a mixture of gold and base metals. Actually, gold-filled is a brass sheet or brass core with a pressure-bonded outside layer of gold to produce the look of gold at a more reasonable price. Gold Plating is a method of depositing a layer of gold onto the surface of sterling silver through an electrochemical process. Nickel is used as a layer between sterling silver and gold to strengthen the bond.

Gold Filled will not tarnish, however, it will get dirty. The oils from your skin transfer to the metal and need to be wiped off periodically.

Care should be taken when cleaning gold-filled jewelry to protect the layer of gold from being worn away or nicked. Do not use abrasive compounds to clean the jewelry. (See jewelry care page for more tips)

Maui Charmed uses Gold Filled and Sterling Silver for all products. And, ensures that the amount of material & time used to produce each piece to the highest quality is valued, without the intent of marketing up the value more than necessary.

Please, do your due diligence in researching about the materials you are buying from handmade jewelry artists. Many artists do not inform their customers about the types of material they are producing.
