Question 5

What is the difference between gold fill, gold coated and gold plated?"

Accepted Answer

Gold filled products consist od an actual layer of gold that is pressure bonded to another metal. gold filling is one of the most valuable and tarnish resistant processes for creating gold jewlery and other items. If properly cared for, it will last a life time and thanks to its durability, their is no need to worry anout wear. 
 
Gold coated jewlery is made when a thin layer of gold in added over the surface of another less precious metal, which serves as the base. This process is often used with gold because it is inexpensive and simple to apply. A downside to gold coated jewlery is that the final product lacks value and durability because of its micro-thin layer of precious metal.
 
Gold plated is another procedd for applying gold to jewlery, which is 10 times more durable than gold coated. It's a process that consists of literally blasting a vaporized precious metal on top of a solid base metal to bond them together. even though plating is more resistant to corrosion from say sea water or sweat, it can be easily fixed by replating.
