15/06: WHAT IS STERLING SILVER AND GOLD FILLED?
What is Sterling Silver?
Pure silver, like pure gold, is too soft to be durable, and must be mixed (alloyed) with other metals. Copper and zinc are preferred choices. They toughen the alloy while enhancing silver's bright natural sheen. Sterling Silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper or zinc.
What is Gold Filled?
Gold filled is made by heat -and pressure- bonding a layer of 14K or 12K gold to a brass core
The benefits of gold filled are:
- Karat gold covers the brass surface, making it tarnish-resistant.
- The value of the gold filled is greater than gold plated because gold filled has an actual layer of karat gold, not just a microscopic film.
- Gold filled jewelry is economical. You can enjoy the rich look of gold at a fraction of the cost.
