18k Gold Filled Choker - 15.5" w/ 2" extender

Lovely choker I purchased to wear for a wedding but unfortunately never ended up wearing. New condition. Important to note - gold filled jewelry is much higher in quality than gold plated. I expect this piece to retain its quality for years to come when cared for correctly. Gold filled: - Has more gold -- the outer layer of gold in gold-filled jewelry is much thicker than on gold plated pieces. Easily 100 times thicker compared to the common quick flash plating. Furthermore, the process for how gold is actually bonded to the outside is far more durable for gold-filled than gold plating. - How Gold Filled is Made -- with gold-filled jewelry, the process involves mechanically bonding the gold to the core through extreme pressure and heat. It results in a more resilient exterior that’s not prone to flaking or cracking. - Has a 5% minimum of gold by weight, while gold plated can be as thin as half a micron or thicker (with no real way of knowing what thickness you’re getting). In fact, oftentimes something will be called “gold plated” when it actually just has a gold-colored coating and no real gold at all. Any questions, please ask :)
