Gold Filled jewelry is made from solid gold and filled with other alloys such as rhodium (a member of the platinum family), brass, and sterling silver. Gold filled wears, looks and lasts like solid gold because its outer surface IS solid gold.

The majority of my bracelets are gold filled, I've had a couple of them for years that belonged to my mother and they still look great

Is gold filled the same as gold plated
rockcandy4u
@jennburrus No. That is why I posted this article. Gold plated is a thin later of gold that 2 handwashes will start wearing off. Gold Filled is so thick that it's just like having a 100% 14k gold item.

It seems to wear off, and then my finger green though!
rockcandy4u
@skybluepink Then its not gold filled...its gold plated
skybluepink
Oh WOW! Gold filled never wears out?
rockcandy4u
@skybluepink . No, its a thick layer as this says. Written by a jeweler..copied by me to share with all my peeps!! If you're going to buy jewelry, you need to be infirmed. Many Poshers on here are upstanding and legit....then there's the sharks. Thats why I also put out info on Tourmalines, Aquamarines & Corrundum. If I was a fake, I wouldn't educate people. You know what I mean!

I never knew this. Not to offend you (please don’t be because I just found you and I think I’m just going to mark off my Christmas list with stuff from your closet so please don’t block me!!!) but does your gold items come with any type of warranty?
rockcandy4u
@jpkurek not offended... look at the price. I have one 10k clown...everything else is gold filled and 1/8 the cost other poshers sell it for. No paperwork...wholesale or below.

So if a piece is 100% solid gold, what would it be called instead of gold-filled?
rockcandy4u
@7o_o7 if its solid Gokd...then its called 10, 14, 18, 22 or 24k solid gold. I put some solid gold pieces in...just tring to keep things organized to find it easier. I have over 700 items..the things at the top are newest, then its all by gem type...sorry if I confused you.

@dawn2u777 I 2nd that. Oh and 3rd, 4th and 5th that. I have only purchased 1 ring from Dawn but it’s one of the most beautiful rings I have ever seen. It’s a white sapphire and I swear it’s shinier than a diamond. Dawn even told me how to clean it to keep it shiny,,She is one person I’ll never be afraid to buy from. Terri🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Now I have a question. Is 10k gold as “good” as 14k?
rockcandy4u
@ttlcd 14k Gold has more gold volumn than 10k. That's why it's more valuable. Solid gold is like butter, it has to be mixed with metals to make it strong enough to hold up. The higher the number the more gold column and less other metals.
ttlcd
@dawn2u777 but will 10k last as long, is the color the same🥰
rockcandy4u
@ttlcd
Yes

Whole closet is amazing! Enjoying browsing and love the info listings!

Your closet is literally my relaxation!!! It's the BEST and for some reason, even though I want EVERYTHING, it's incredibly calming!!! I will be a long, long time customer as long as you'll have me, lol!! The problem is that I for real want to actually buy everything I hit the like on and more! It's a case of what I want the MOST when I have the $$$ to spend, lol. I wish I had an extra $10k and I'd just buy a giant lot at once!🤣🤣🤣 For real though!!!
joyinmyjourney
I have learned so much from reading your education posts too! I am so grateful for that!!!
rockcandy4u
@joyinmyjourney I don't think I'd let you do that, I'd be concerned that you may hurt yourself. If I could sell my business, I would. But then I'd start something new to keep me busy on Poshmark. Right now Poshmark values my boutique at 850k...I'd sell it for 400k. lol...pipe dream.
rockcandy4u
@joyinmyjourney I'm happy when people read the info posts. I see people buying fake jewelry in other closets because the cost is low and the posher says...oh yes, Its all real. Many buy their cheap 5.00 pieces from China...Stamped 925....even some Stamped 14k...then the alloy pokes through. I always hope they find me and READ!

@tacytucker There is a process to it for sure, but because the outer layer is GOLD it will last a lifetime. Jewelers do not like re-sizing due to inner core of mixed metals.
