14kt Gold Filled St. Benedict Crucifix
*What is gold filled? Gold filled or gold overlay is a process of pressure bonding a thin layer of gold to a base metal core (usually brass). Gold filled (unlike gold plating) has an actual layer of gold, giving it more value and making it tarnish-resistant. Minimum Requirement for Gold Filled is at least 5% 12 karat gold by weight. Because of the manufacturer's new process for making Gold Filled jewelry, this item far exceeds the minimum requirement: It is 10% 14 karat gold by weight. With the 14kt gold on both the front and reverse sides you get the genuine look and feel of 14KT gold at a fraction of the cost! |
