A beautiful pair of gold filled ball earrings measuring a large 8mm in diameter. Gold filled jewelry consists of a layer of gold bonded to the underlying base metal. Unlike gold plating, gold filled jewelry is crafted with gold that constitutes at least 5% of the total item weight and will not fade or tarnish like plated jewelry often can. It can withstand heat and water over time. These 14K gold filled ball earrings are great quality and perfect for everyday wear.
