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!

It's simple really... much like Gold 24k is not as hard as 12k. There are different types of stainless steels: when nickel is added, for instance, the austenite structure of iron is stabilized.When considering stainless steel it's much the same as Gold. The lower the gage of metal i.e; 15g verses 18g the better grade of metal. Just because it's a stainless steel sink doesn't mean it will not stain. Often lower price sinks have less nickle and more iron in the stainless. This will allow the sink to develop rust areas and more apt to scratch.

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.
