Is gold filled jewelry real gold?

Yes! Gold filled jewelry contains real gold — typically 18k gold — that is permanently bonded to a base metal core. It contains significantly more gold than gold plated jewelry, making it far more durable and long lasting.

Is gold filled jewelry good for sensitive skin?

Yes — gold filled jewelry is one of the best options for sensitive skin. Because the thick gold layer prevents the base metal from coming into contact with your skin, it is hypoallergenic and nickel free. All Kate Gates Jewelry pieces are specifically designed for women with sensitive skin.

Is gold filled jewelry waterproof?

Gold filled jewelry handles water much better than gold plated jewelry. You can wash your hands, shower and get caught in rain without damaging your pieces. However we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to salt water, chlorine and harsh chemicals to keep your jewelry looking its best longest.

Does gold filled jewelry tarnish?

Gold filled jewelry is highly resistant to tarnishing because of its thick gold layer. With proper care it can last 10 to 30 years. It is far more durable than gold plated jewelry which can tarnish within months. At Kate Gates Jewelry all pieces come with a 30 day warranty.

What is the difference between gold filled and gold plated jewelry?

Gold filled jewelry contains roughly 100 times more gold than gold plated jewelry. Gold filled has a thick layer of real gold permanently bonded to the base metal, while gold plated has only a thin surface coating that can wear off quickly. Gold filled is much more durable, tarnish resistant and better for sensitive skin.

Can you wear gold filled jewelry every day?

Absolutely! Gold filled jewelry is specifically designed for everyday wear. Unlike gold plated jewelry it won't fade, tarnish or irritate your skin with daily use. All Kate Gates Jewelry pieces are made to be worn every day — from morning coffee to evening events.

How long does gold filled jewelry last?

With proper care gold filled jewelry typically lasts 10 to 30 years. This makes it an excellent investment compared to gold plated jewelry which may only last months. To maximize the life of your pieces store them in a dry place and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals.

Does Kate Gates Jewelry offer free shipping?

Yes! Kate Gates Jewelry offers free shipping on all US orders. All orders ship within 3 business days in gift ready packaging. We also offer a 30 day warranty on all pieces.

My new favorite necklace!

I wear this necklace every single day — in the shower, to the gym, everywhere. It hasn't tarnished at all and still looks brand new. The quality is incredible for the price. Will definitely be ordering more!

Mia Figaro Necklace

Great quality and love the shine. I usually wear 16 inch, but decided to get the 20 inch to wear with boxy tees. Clasp and findings are soldered, it will stay put. Love it!
