About Pure Gold,Gold Filled and Gold Plated Jewelry

Pure Gold

Undoubtedly, pure gold jewelry, with its difficulty in oxidation/discoloration, allows you to wear it everywhere every day, and it is of high quality and durable. It has low allergenicity, ranging from 9K to 24K. The higher the carat (K), the purer and softer the gold. For jewelry, pure 24K gold is too "fragile"/has too strong ductility, which is why it is mixed with other metals to strengthen the material. Most jewelry ranges from 9K to 18K. The following is a comparison of the gold content components of K gold.

Gold Filled

Gold Filled is a durable and high-quality alternative to traditional exquisite gold logo items. (At least 1/20 or 5% of its weight is required) combined with certain metal substrates to form. This process involves bonding multiple layers of pure gold onto the core using extreme heat pressure; The result of this complex process is a high-quality gold filling project. Next only to pure gold, and at a more affordable price. The following is a schematic explanation.

Gold Plated

Gold plated jewelry is only plated with a shallow layer of gold on metals such as 925 sterling silver,brass,and alloy by electroplating(water plating).The colors of electroplating can be Rhodium color,Gold color ,Rose Gold color and Silver color.Usually gold,rose gold and silver plated are easy fade.But,Titanium and STAINLESS STEEL JEWLERY(316L stainless steel and 304 stainless steel are types of material) usually use Vacuum Ion plating technology(IP Plating),we can say it is PVD(Physical Vapor Deposition)as well,and the color of the plating will remain very durable and lasting long time.The colors have many optioins for S.Steel Jewelry,including IP Gold color,IP Rose Gold color,IP Brown color,IP Black color,IP Blue color. Also Gold color have 14K Gold color & 18K Gold color. At the same time, the use of electrophoretic technology in the electroplating process also directly affects the durability of the color of the plating layer. Of course, if all jewelry is properly maintained, it can be worn every day and maintained in its high-quality state for a long time, and it is also related to the personal constitution of the wearer.
