Genuine
Gems mined from the earth; also called Natural.
Gold-Filled
Gold is bonded to a base alloy and rolled, so the base alloy
becomes a filling surrounded by gold. Gold must comprise at least 5 percent of
the total weight, and the entire exposed surface must be gold.
Gold-Plated
The coating of a base metal with gold. For example, the
karat amount is displayed as 14K gold-plated. The thin layer of gold makes the
jewelry less expensive, but the plating does wear and chip away over time.
Gold Vermeil
A thin layer of gold, of various qualities, covering
sterling silver. Gold vermeil jewelry should display a karat amount.
