Gold Filled Chain
18k Gold Filled Box Chain 1mm
A gold chain is a sign of prestige and success. There is nothing more fulfilling than turning heads on the streets with a brand new golden piece.
The problem is that pure gold is expensive. Like most precious metals and gems, the only real reason that it has so much value is because of the gold market’s pricing. You can get the exact same look of a pure gold piece at only a fraction of the cost.
Gold filled should not be confused with gold plated. Gold filled is meant to last a lifetime, and is more affordable that solid gold
You get the same look for a fraction of the price.
Here are some differences
Gold-Filled Process
The outer layer of gold in gold-filled jewelry is much thicker than on gold plated pieces. Easily 100 times thicker compared to the common quick flash plating. Furthermore, the process for how gold is actually bonded to the outside is far more durable for gold-filled than gold plating.
Gold-Plating Process
To gold plate something, it’s dipped into a solution that contains gold (or a gold-colored alloy) and is zapped with electric current. An electrochemical reaction occurs that deposits a thin layer of gold onto the base metal.
