The easiest way to explain it is to think of a sheet of 10K gold made into a hollow tube. The inside of this tube is filled with a jewelers alloy metal core. The thickness of the outside sheet of 10K gold metal is strictly regulated and will be within the same level of tolerances no matter what supplier. The 10K gold on the outside is what touches your skin and is cared for like any of your gold jewelry. It has a very long life and can be handed down. Rolled gold is 100 times the amount of gold than average gold plate. Gold plate is either a dip or sprayed on which is why it does not last as long as rolled gold. Rolled gold make wonderful jewelry for a fraction of the cost. Another name for rolled gold is gold fill. There is a debate that there is a difference between the two but most of the time they are used interchangeably.
