Why Choose Gold Filled Over Gold-Plated Jewellery?

At Eternal Marks, we pride ourselves on offering only the highest quality materials for our personalised jewellery. One of the key materials we use is gold filled, which offers numerous advantages over traditional gold-plated jewellery. Here's why gold filled is the superior choice:

What is Gold Filled?

Gold filled, also known as gold-filled, is a high-quality alternative to solid gold. It involves bonding a thick layer of gold to a core metal, such as stainless steel, using heat and pressure. This process creates a durable and long-lasting material that retains the luxurious look of solid gold without the high cost.

Key Advantages of Gold Filled

1. Superior Strength and Durability

Gold filled is significantly stronger and more durable than gold-plated jewellery. The bonding process creates a robust material that can withstand daily wear and tear. Unlike gold-plated items, which have a thin layer of gold that can easily wear off, gold filled has a much thicker layer that maintains its integrity over time.

2. Resistance to Tarnishing and Scratching

One of the main issues with gold-plated jewellery is its susceptibility to tarnishing and scratching. The thin layer of gold on plated items can quickly fade, exposing the base metal underneath. Gold filled, on the other hand, offers excellent resistance to tarnishing and scratching. The thick gold layer ensures that your jewellery retains its shine and beauty for years to come.

3. Hypoallergenic Properties

For those with sensitive skin, gold filled is a great option. The thick layer of gold prevents direct contact with the base metal, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. This makes gold filled jewellery suitable for everyday wear, even for individuals with metal sensitivities.

4. Long-Lasting Investment

Gold filled jewellery is a wise investment due to its longevity and durability. While gold-plated items may need frequent replacements due to wear and tear, gold filled pieces are built to last. This makes them a cost-effective choice in the long run, providing you with beautiful, enduring jewellery.

5. Environmentally Friendly

The production of gold filled jewellery is more environmentally friendly compared to gold plating. The process involves fewer chemicals and less waste, making it a more sustainable option. By choosing gold filled, you're also making a choice that's better for the planet.

6. Superior Craftsmanship

At Eternal Marks, our gold filled jewellery is crafted with the utmost care and precision. Each piece is hand-finished by our skilled artisans, ensuring that you receive a product of the highest quality. Our commitment to excellence is evident in every item we create, providing you with jewellery that is both beautiful and durable.

Solid Gold Options

While gold filled offers a durable and cost-effective alternative, Eternal Marks also provides options in solid gold for those who seek the ultimate in luxury and purity. Our solid gold pieces are crafted with the same attention to detail and quality as our gold filled jewellery, offering a timeless elegance that can be cherished for generations.

Conclusion

When it comes to choosing jewellery that is both beautiful and long-lasting, gold filled is the superior choice. Its strength, durability, resistance to tarnishing and scratching, hypoallergenic properties, and environmental benefits make it a standout option. At Eternal Marks, we are dedicated to offering only the best for our customers, and our gold filled jewellery is a testament to this commitment.
