* What is Gold Filled Jewellery?
Yellow gold filled jewellery is a good quality, more affordable alternative to solid gold. Also known as “rolled gold” or “gold overlay”, it’s easily confused with gold plating; however, the key difference is that it’s filled with solid gold, hence the name.
In terms of the construction of gold filled jewellery, the layer of solid gold is bonded to a base metal (such as brass, rhodium, copper or sterling silver) using a specific amount of heat and pressure. The jewellery piece has to have solid gold content of at least 5% of its total weight, otherwise it’s not classed as gold filled.
“Yellow gold” refers to the specific colouring of the jewellery which, in this case, is widely recognized as the traditional gold hue. You can also get “white gold” (silver) filled jewellery, as well as “rose gold”.
