Have you seen jewelry listed as gold-fill and wondered what it meant?  Is it actual gold?  Is it just another word for cheap gold plating?  Or is there gold inside something else?

So, what is gold-fill anyway?

The term "gold-fill" is a bit of a misnomer.  A thick coating of gold is pressure-bonded to the surface of another, less-expensive, metal.  Unlike the thin layer of gold coating on gold-plated objects however, gold-fill will not flake off or change colors, making it a safe option for those with allergies.  Plus, they'll keep their gold appearance for life, giving the look of solid gold at a lower price.

Many of Sundrop Jewelry's designs can be made to order with gold-fill rather than our standard sterling silver.  Just add the gold-fill upgrade to your cart along with your Solaris or Demi Earrings, or a gold-fill chain with your pendant necklace.  Or, browse the pieces already listed in the shop.

If you're interested in other designs in gold-fill, please contact me - I'd love to work with you on the piece of your dreams!
