Description
Gold-filled beads are a durable, high-quality alternative to solid gold. Unlike plated beads, which contain only about 0.5% gold, gold-filled beads hold around 5% gold—making them 100 times richer in gold content. This makes them an excellent choice for creating stylish jewellry that’s both affordable and lasting.
Gold-filled beads resist tarnishing, discolouration, and skin irritation for most wearers. They’re crafted by bonding a thick layer of 14k gold to a base metal of brass. Because the gold layer is so substantial, jewellry made with gold-filled beads can often be worn daily for decades—sometimes up to 30 years—without losing its beauty.
