Gold Filled vs Gold Plated: The Difference That Matters for Everyday Jewelry
Ever bought cheap gold jewelry that looks dull after a month or gives you an allergic reaction? It's not you, it's the material. At Hunch, we use gold filled in all our pieces so they stay elegant all day, every day without hassle.
The difference in 1 image (and why it matters)
Gold filled (what we use):
-
5% real gold mechanically bonded to base metal.
-
Doesn't peel or fade (lasts years with normal wear).
-
Hypoallergenic for sensitive skin.
-
Perfect for daily wear without losing shine.
Gold plated (what to avoid):
-
Super thin gold electroplating layer.
-
Wears off fast with sweat, perfume, or friction.
-
Can irritate sensitive skin.
Why we chose gold filled for Hunch?
-
Minimal design + lasting quality = your clean look without maintenance.
-
Waterproof (shower, pool, beach OK).
-
Fair price: you pay for real gold, not surface coating.
-
Timeless style that matches your entire wardrobe.
