What is gold-filled wire?
Gold-filled wire is specifically manufactured for wire art jewellery. It is created by wrapping a layer of 14K gold around a jeweller’s wire. The layer of karat gold gives the benefits of solid gold wire (no tarnish & no allergies), without the price tag of solid gold wire. This keeps the price of owning a unique handcrafted piece of jewelry manageable for most people.
The layer of gold IS a layer of karat gold. It is NOT a microscopic film deposited after the fact like gold-plate. Gold Filled wire is considered a lifetime product, suitable for heirloom jewelry. The layer of gold does not wear off under normal wear situations. There is more than 100 times the amount of gold in gold-filled than there is in gold-plate.
