The Emma- 💙14k Gold Filled Ball Hook 💙14k Dainty Cable Chain 💙3inch Drop 💙6 Tiny, Dainty Freshwater Pearls Why choose Gold Filled? Gold filled jewelry contains about 100 times the amount of gold than a gold plated item. The gold is fused to the base metal using pressure and high heat so it will never flake or peel. Gold filled products will not tarnish under normal circumstances. If necessary, you can clean the necklace gently with a soft cloth. Keep harsh chemicals away such as sunscreens, lotions, perfumes, soaps etc.
