About Gold Filled
Gold filled jewellery is sometimes referred to as rolled gold or gold bonded. Unlike standard gold plating, gold filled uses a substantially thicker layer of real karat gold, which is mechanically bonded to a base metal core.
This item is made from 1/20 14ct gold filled, meaning that 5% of the total weight is genuine 14ct gold, bonded to a brass core. The gold layer is far thicker and more durable than conventional gold plating, resulting in a finish that closely resembles solid gold in appearance and wear.
Gold filled is widely regarded as a durable and long-lasting alternative to gold plating, offering the look and feel of real gold at a more accessible price point.
Choosing the Right Earring Back
Earring posts are typically manufactured to a fairly standard diameter, usually around 0.7mm, regardless of the overall size of the earring. As long as the post diameter falls within the specified tolerance, the back will fit correctly.
Larger earring backs generally provide increased grip and are often preferred for heavier earrings, while smaller backs offer a more discreet profile for lightweight designs. Personal comfort and ease of handling should also be considered when choosing a size.

Care & Storage
- Store in a dry environment when not in use
- Clean gently to preserve the gold filled surface
