Vintage and Antique gold-filled jewellery explained If you love vintage jewellery you may have come across the name gold-filled . But what exactly does it mean and why is vintage and antique gold-filled jewellery so special, wearable and collectible? Unlike gold plating, gold-filled jewellery offers lasting durability. This makes it a fantastic alternative to solid gold and at a fraction of the price. Gold-filled jewellery is almost exclusively USA designed and made notwithstanding a small number of offshoot makers who were located in Canada. The majority of vintage and antique gold-filled jewellery came from the many jewellery makers and workshops located in Rhode Island.  Gold-filled jewellery must have at least 5% solid gold by weight which was required by law in the USA since 1907 whilst gold-plated jewellery more than likely contains less than 0.05%. Gold-filled pieces maintain their appearance for decades, even centuries, but gold-plated ones do not. Gold-filled jewellery was made by bonding a thick layer of solid gold usually 10, 12 or 14k to a base metal. High quality gold-filled pieces give the appearance of solid gold. Not all pieces are hallmarked especially pre 1900s items and some makers such as Krementz or RJ Simmonds went on to simply display the gold content in the presentation box. Later hallmarks are typically 1/20 10k 12k or 14k GF. Similar solid gold pieces are generally priced 4 to 7 times higher than genuine gold-filled ones.  Beware of modern jewellery pieces coming out of Asia masquerading as gold filled and of an inferior quality which possess minimal gold content and are mass produced and cheap.
