Gold-filled vs gold-plated—what’s the real difference? 💛 Gold-filled jewelry is made with a thicker micron layer of gold bonded using high heat and pressure, making it more durable and ideal for everyday wear. Gold-plated jewelry, on the other hand, is created through electroplating, which results in a much thinner layer of gold color that can wear over time. If you’re deciding what type of jewelry fits your lifestyle, this detail matters! ✨ Follow us for more jewelry education 💬 Comment below
