FREE: "18K White Gold Filled Engagement / Promise Style Ring" (Size #7)

April many thanks for your interest in my auction and your question, but these rings are gold filled not solid gold rings as stated in the description. If you're curious the difference between pure gold or gold filled or even gold plated rings I will help you understand this easier.

"WHAT IS GOLD FILLED?"

When deciding on a gold jewelry item there are always many different terms that come up. The most popular are Solid Gold, Gold Filled, and Gold Plated. It is important to know the differences between Gold Filled jewelry and Gold Plated jewelry when making your choice. Solid gold is of course an exquisite piece of jewelry. Gold filled is the next level and is an amazing, quality alternative to solid gold. Gold plating is the lower level and these items tend to tarnish and can often times turn the skin green.

Gold Filled: Gold filled is an actual layer of gold-pressure bonded to another metal. Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating as filled literally has 100% more gold than gold plating. Gold filled is much more valuable and tarnish resistant. It does not flake off, rub off or turn colors. As a matter of fact, anyone who can wear gold can wear gold filled without worries of any allergic reaction to the jewelry. Gold filled jewelry is an economical alternative to solid gold!

I so hope that this has helped you with your question and also many thanks for stopping by my auction if you have any further questions please feel free to ask at any time.. *smiles*
