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.

Gold
• Element: Sun
• Metaphysical Properties:
Gold is a powerful conductor of energy and is known as a “master healer” in many spiritual traditions. It is believed to amplify positive energy, balance the body’s energy fields, and enhance vitality. Gold is associated with abundance, prosperity, and manifestation. It not only promotes success in material realms but also supports spiritual enlightenment.
Gold is highly connected to the Solar Plexus Chakra, which governs personal power, confidence, and self-esteem. Wearing or using gold can help empower the wearer, boost their inner strength, and restore balance when feeling depleted or unsure.
• Healing Properties:
Gold’s healing properties are believed to stimulate overall vitality and boost immune function. It is often used in energy healing to help improve circulation, relieve pain, and support detoxification. Gold is also said to increase mental clarity, stimulate creativity, and enhance memory.
• Chakra/Energy Work:
Gold is most strongly associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra (third chakra), which deals with personal power, self-worth, and confidence. It helps boost self-esteem and leadership qualities, while also supporting digestion and metabolism. Gold can also assist with Heart Chakra work by enhancing feelings of love, compassion, and joy, making it a well-rounded tool for both physical and emotional healing.
• Astrological Associations:
Gold resonates with the energy of the Sun, making it ideal for Leo (ruled by the Sun), but it also supports Aries and Sagittarius due to their strong, energetic, and leadership-driven qualities. Gold is great for anyone seeking to amplify energy and manifest desires.
