WHAT IS 18K GOLD-FILLED & FAQ
What is Gold Filled Jewelry?
Though the term might suggest otherwise, gold-filled jewelry is not entirely made of gold. Instead, it features a base metal, typically brass, covered with a generous layer of gold. At ImmaculateBlessed, we use 18K gold, bonding it to the brass base with extreme heat and pressure. This process results in at least 5% of the jewelry's total weight being pure gold, in contrast to gold-plated pieces, which often contain less than 1% gold.
The gold is not simply layered on top; it's fused with the base metal, making the jewelry exceptionally durable and resistant to tarnish and chipping. With proper care—including gentle cleaning, wearing it in the water, and storing it carefully—our gold-filled jewelry can maintain its beauty for years.
This process creates a durable and long-lasting piece that offers the beauty and quality of solid gold at a more accessible price.
Is Your Gold Filled Jewelry Handmade?
At ImmaculateBlessed, we take immense joy in the art of handcrafting nearly every single piece. This is a meticulous process, with each type of jewelry undergoing a tailored series of steps that demand a personal touch.
For instance, our skilled artisans devote themselves to the exquisite task of polishing each individual piece, including all of our Miraculous Medals, Four Way Cross, Crucifixes, earrings and chains. We meticulously assemble bails and jump rings. The placement of stones in pieces featuring cz gems is an art form in itself, with each stone being thoughtfully set by hand.
Furthermore, the creation of our chains, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets involves a masterful blend of measuring, cutting, soldering, and delicate assembly.
These are not mere products; they are the result of manual craftsmanship, each one carefully brought to life by skilled hands. This is the essence of our commitment to creating unique and meaningful Catholic sacramental jewelry for you.
Is Gold Filled Jewelry Hypoallergenic?
Yes, it is. Our gold filled jewelry is made free of harmful chemicals like nickel, cadmium, and lead, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin or metal allergies.
