Is 14k gold-filled good quality? Gold fill is absolutely your best option after solid gold for quality and durability. It will not flake off or turn your skin green and offers a great option for people with sensitive skin.
Our pieces are predominantly made of gold filled metal.

All fine metals will tarnish with time. Gold Fill has 100x more gold alloy than Gold Plated and because this layer of gold is much thicker it means that 14k Gold Filled jewellery last longer and doesn't tarnish easily.
How long does 14K gold filled jewellery last?
As long as gold filled pieces are well cared for, they can last a lifetime. Gold plated pieces, on the other hand, can last up to a year if kept away from water, wear, and heat. It's also worth mentioning that gold filled pieces with lower karat weight (9-14k) may be more durable than pieces with greater gold content.
