Gold fill is the closest you can get to a solid gold item. Rolled gold is many times thicker than gold plate and is, therefore, more expensive and will last a lot longer than gold plate. Over time gold plate will rub off if the jewellery is not cared for properly but this can be greatly delayed with proper practices (see below).
The piece is usually made from silver and then coated in gold of varying karat. This is a common practice where the piece is coated in gold. This also explains why some gold items are more expensive than others. Due to the cost and also softness of gold, alloys (including silver) are often mixed - common purities are 9k, 12k or 18k. Gold purity is measured in karat with 24K/ct signifying 100% pure gold. Some pieces are made from solid gold or gold plate. The more oxidised a piece the darker the metal will become. This is great for accentuating small details and creating dark pieces. This is sterling silver that has undergone a chemical reaction and has been darkened through the process of oxidation. Our pieces are solid, not hollow, and silver items above 7.8g are hallmarked (to prove silver authenticity). 100% silver is generally too soft so strengthening alloys must be added. This is the industry standard for genuine, high-quality silver jewellery (92.5% silver with 7.5% alloy). As a rule of thumb the vast majority of pieces are made from 925 sterling silver.
