**********What is Gold-Fill?**************
There is a difference between gold-plate and gold-filled. Gold-fill is 50 to 100 times thicker than regular gold-plating, and about 17 to 25 times thicker than heavy gold electroplate. Gold-filled items are made by combining a layer or layers of gold alloy to a base metal (usually brass, copper, or steel) then rolling or drawing the metal to the desired thickness and shape. Gold-plate is a very thin deposit of gold, electroplated or electrochemically applied to the piece.
