Understanding Bonded Gold and Silver-Filled Gold

Bonded gold and silver-filled gold are high-quality, durable alternatives to solid gold jewellery, offering the same rich appearance at a more accessible price. Bonded gold features a thick layer of solid gold permanently fused to a base metal—usually sterling silver—resulting in a strong, lasting piece. Silver-filled gold goes a step further: it literally fills the hollow space inside gold with solid sterling silver, giving the jewellery more structure and weight. This makes silver-filled gold noticeably harder to bend or dent compared to hollow or plated pieces. Both options provide a beautiful, long-wearing finish that’s ideal for everyday wear without compromising on quality or elegance.
