Collection: 14k Gold Filled Pendants
Handmade Wire Wrap Pendants in 14k Gold filled Wire, each piece includes a adjustable gold plated chain. 18' inch gold fill chain upgrade can be requested.
I use high quality 14k gold and rose gold filled wire from Rio Grande to create timeless and affordable pieces you can enjoy for years and years to come.
What is the difference between Gold Plated and Gold Filled according to Rio Grande?
- In contrast to gold plating, gold-filled jewelry is tarnish resistant and can last many years if properly maintained.
- The manufacturing process for gold-filled metal is more complex than electroplating.
- Unlike gold-plated materials, gold-filled jewelry retains the value of its gold content over time.
Gold-filled is made by adding a layer of 14 karat gold to a brass core, creating a tarnish-resistant surface where only gold is exposed. The metals are permanently bound together using heat and pressure, then are rolled and drawn to exact specifications.
