SELL GOLD FOR BEST PRICE IN LOS ANGELES

There are many types of jewelry sold today by jewelry manufactures and it can be confusing when you are trying to buy or choose gold jewelry to wear. These companies have become experts at depositing extremely thin layers or coatings of gold onto other metals making them have the appearance of real gold jewelry without the high cost. More recently, jewelry manufactures have applied a thicker gold plating to their gold filled jewelry, trophies, plaques, metals, and gold filled eyeglass frames to have more durability and to last longer. Here is a summary explaining the difference between each type of gold filled and gold plated jewelry.

Gold Filled Jewelry
Gold filled items such as rings, pins, chains, cufflinks, label pins, gold watches, gold pocket watches and eyeglass frames usually contain more gold than gold plated items and are more valuable and worth more because the gold value in it is higher in gold purity . The thin layer of gold consists of a minimum of at least 1/20^th percent of the total gold weight and is usually 14k gold. The best way to determine one from another is to have them examined or tested by South Bay Coin Gold Buyers.

Gold Plated Jewelry
Gold plated jewelry (GP) contains a thinner layer of gold layered on the surface and is made of base metal (usually copper or brass) to create gold plated jewelry items. The layer is 0.05% actual gold content or less. Some gold plated jewelry items are gold chains, rings, bracelets, and earrings. Some gold plated jewelry has the lowest cost and will not sustain its color and will tarnish eventually. It has also been commonly known to irritate the skin. Real gold jewelry will not corrode and will last forever. Brass and copper will fade especially when having contact with lotions, perfumes, and everyday sweat. Gold plated jewelry is great for a special occasion and is usually used for high fashion jewelry or costume jewelry.
