Without getting to geeky in jewelry talk, we solder gold filled jewelry with solid 14k yellow gold solder. Since 14/20 gold fill is a clad metal as shown above it is not solid yellow gold. It’s a delicate process to properly solder gold filled jewelry without exposing the fine brass core. Gold filled jewelry cannot be “cast” like other solid metals like sterling silver or solid gold so in order to make our unique designs they are done by hand and fused or soldered together using fine 14k yellow gold solder among other special jewelers tools.

Yes that is normal. We use 14k yellow gold solder to solder our gold filled jewelry. Since gold fill is 14/20 (solid gold to jeweler’s brass) it will have a slightly different hue from the 14k yellow gold solder. You might see a slight color variation between those two metals in your piece. That is totally normal and with a quick cleaning or polishing of the metal that variation will be practically unnoticeable.

The only way to ensure there is no tonal difference with soldered gold filled jewelry is to gold plate the entire piece when it is complete. This is an in-depth and costly process that we choose not to take on so we can continue to to offer affordable prices for high quality pieces.
