What is the difference between 14kt gold-filled and gold-plated?Updated a month ago

Gold-filled jewelry by definition is "composed of a solid layer of gold, mechanically bonded to a base metal." It provides the quality one would expect from solid gold. Gold-plated, on the other hand, will tarnish and can result in discoloration. enewton is proud to carry gold-filled products, which offer consumers a high-quality, long-lasting piece of jewelry. 

Manufactured in the US, our gold-filled beads, chains, bangles/cuffs, earrings, and charms comply with the US standard for gold fill. While other companies may also offer gold-filled items, many source their components from overseas where the standard for gold fill requires a lesser amount of gold (making them more susceptible to tarnishing). enewton is proud to offer American-made gold-filled products of the highest quality.
