About Gold Filled Jewelry

Gold Filled is a quality designation that is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission. In order to be Gold Filled, the material must have a layer of gold that is at least 10-karat  mechanically applied to a base metal; the karat gold layer must also be at least 1/20 (5%) of the item's total weight. All of Erica Haley's creations are at least 14-karat Gold Filled. 

Gold Fill is the highest quality option after solid gold for quality and durability. Gold Filled jewelry can last a lifetime especially with care. 

Gold Information - Erica Haley Jewelry

  • Gold Filled Jewelry is a good choice for people with sensitive skin. Because the outside of the piece is solid gold (14k, 18k or 24k), the gold interacts with your skin in the same way solid 14k, 18k, or 24k solid gold would.
  • Unlike gold plated jewelry, gold filled jewelry has a resilient exterior that is 100% not prone to flaking. Flaking is common with gold plated jewelry. 
  • The process of filling gold filled jewelry involves mechanically bonding solid gold to the core through extreme pressure and heat.
