What Exactly is Gold-Filled Jewelry?
Let us briefly clear the air since gold-filled jewelry is sometimes misinterpreted.It’s not just plated or dipped in gold. It’s crafted using a thick, pressure-bonded layer of genuine gold over a durable core metal, typically brass. This makes it dramatically more durable than gold-plated alternatives — and much more affordable than solid gold.

So you get:
- The rich look of 14K gold
- Superior durability
- And budget-friendly elegance
Unlike cheap fashion jewelry, gold-filled won’t easily tarnish, flake, or fade. It’s made to shine for years — and that’s exactly why it’s at the heart of our collection at Ellie J. Maui.
