Difference Between KGF and KGP

KGF (Gold Filled)

• Features: Gold-filled material is created by bonding a thick layer of gold, accounting for 5% of the total weight, to a base metal under high heat and pressure. This process ensures long-lasting color retention and durability. Gold-filled items are less likely to cause allergies and maintain a luxurious shine over time.

KGP (Gold Plated)

• Features: Gold-plated items are made by electroplating a thin layer of gold onto a base metal. Due to the thin gold layer, these items may experience color fading or wear more quickly depending on usage and storage. However, gold-plated items are available in a wide variety of designs and offer diverse styling options.

These earring findings are carefully selected to minimize the risk of allergic reactions. While suitable for those with sensitive skin, it is important to note that individual reactions may vary, and we cannot guarantee that these products will be allergy-free for everyone. Understanding the characteristics of each material and properly maintaining them will help preserve their beauty for a long time.
