What is the Symbol for 24K gold filled jewelry?
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!
Is gold layered jewelry thesame as gold filled jewelry?
Nope....Gold layered jewelry (also called "gold plated" jewelry) is the type where a base metal such as copper or brass is coated with a layer of gold, hence the term "gold-layered". On the other hand, gold-filled jewelry is where solid gold is filled with other metals like copper and brass. The fusion, which is made from heat and pressure, is permanent.

What is a 9k white gold filled cz ring princess ring worth?
Probably about a maximum of $20.00 and that's a RETAIL price. (the price YOU would buy it NEW for... not the price you could get for selling it for scrap or something like that). 9k gold filled material is what they used to use "back in the day" when costume jewelry started becoming very popular, the jewelry companies wanted to make a nice-looking piece of jewelry but gold was expensive as it is now, so gold plating, rolled-gold plated and gold filled jewelry started being manufactured. Unfortunately, in today's market it is of little to no value.
How do you extract gold from gold filled objects?
A gold filled item has gold on the outside, and is filled with a base metal. Gold is recovered from dust (jewelers sweep the dust from their work areas where they file and shape gold) and from scrap jewelry, plated items (electronics connectors) etc. The metals are dissolved in strong acids, and then the pure gold is removed from the liquid by an electrolytic process. A DC current is passed through the liquid, and the metallic gold concentrates at one conductor, This is pure 24K gold, and must be alloyed with other metals to be usable in jewelry. 24K is too soft for most jewelry.
