Gold-filled vs gold-plated jewelry: what's the difference?

Gold-filled metal must have a layer of gold that is at least 10-karat and 120 (5%) of the item's total weight. The process to create gold-filled metal is more complicated than the process to create gold-plated metal but basically it is made by adding a layer of 14 or 12 karat gold to a brass core, creating a tarnish-resistant surface where only gold is exposed. The metals are permanently bound together using heat and pressure, then are rolled and drawn to exact specifications. Gold-plated metal on the other hand, is made with a base metal and electroplated usually with only 1 micron thickness of gold. This microscopic layer of gold is significantly less in amount than those contained in gold-filled metal which is required to be 5% of the item's total weight. Over time, gold-plated jewelry will lose its thin coating of gold, exposing the base metal underneath. Unlike gold-plated jewelry, gold-filled jewelry retains the value of its gold content over time.

For crystal practitioners:

Opal reflects the mood of the wearer because it is an emotional stone. It enhances cosmic consciousness and induces pyschic visions. Being an emotional stone it also intensifies them and releases inhibitions. Opal also stimulates originality and creativity. It helps to release anger and claim self worth.
