What is Gold Fill?
Gold fill is a manufacturing process whereby a gold "sandwich" is
created, gold on the outside and a base metal on the inside. The gold is permanently
bonded under enormous pressure to the surface of the base metal in a milling
process which results in a gold surface about 100 times thicker than conventional
gold plating. The material produced is about 5% gold. But it is far more durable
than mere gold electroplating. In appearance jewellery produced with 14kt
gold fill is identical to jewellery produced with 14kt solid gold. And even
in the most extreme circumstances, gold fill will not "wear off"
as is commonly the case with items which have been merely gold plated.
History of Wire Wrapping
Wire and beaded jewellery is an ancient craft that is dated back as far as
2000 BC. The British Museum has samples of jewellery from the Sumerian Dynasty,
found in the cemetery of Ur that contains spiralled wire components. It is
known that Egyptian and Phoenician artists practiced that art over 5,000 years
ago and pieces of jewellery have been found in the pyramids as well as ancient
Pharaoh's tombs. Other samples of jewellery from Ancient Rome show wire wrapped
loops. This Roman jewellery is dated to approximately 2000 years ago
