 Are your products real gold?

Yes!!

At such reasonable prices you might be wondering if a certain product is real gold. Here are a few keywords to look for in the posting:

- 14k Gold-Filled: A great alternative to solid gold jewelry. It is a pressure bonded layer of gold that is much more durable than plated and does not tarnish. The pressure bonded gold is 5% of the metal. It is an economical way to buy and enjoy gold. 

-Gold Plated: A very thin coat of gold, usually .05% or less is plated over brass or copper. Fashion jewelry will tarnish over time revealing the metal underneath.
