What does 14/20 gold-filled mean?
Gold-filled is made by using heat and pressure to fuse a layer of solid Gold onto a base metal (usually brass). What that means is that 1/20 (5%) of the metal weight is 14 karat solid gold, the same applies to 12/20 gold-filled, which would contain 1/20 (5%) of 12 karat gold and so on. I choose to work with 14/20 gold-filled because of it's beautiful rich color and the fact that it wears just like real gold. It has beauty, durability, and strength. It is a quality alternative to solid gold at an affordable price.
