FYI – The term “gold filled” applies only to items composed of a layer of gold pressed (not alloyed) onto a base metal where the weight of the gold comprises at least 1/20th of the total weight of the item. Fineness must be shown by stamp, e.g. “1/20 12 k G.F.” means the gold layer is 12 karat gold and comprises 1/20th of the total weight of the item.
For example, a piece marked “1/10 12K G.F.” is composed of at least 1/10 12K gold based on the weight of the finished piece. In the U.S.,gold filled pieces must be at least 1/20 by weight to be classified as gold–filled.
