FIlled V.S Plated

Filled jewelry has a much thicker layer of 14k gold/sterling silver than plated. because that layer is so much thicker, it means filled jewelry lasts longer and is a lot stronger than plated. Plated is a cheaper alternative to filled jewelry it just tends to have a shorter life span. All my jewelry is made of either sterling silver or 14k gold fill. I am only able to offer specific styles in silver and gold plated at this time.
