Description
This 14k gold-filled and sterling silver elephant knot bracelet is handmade and fully adjustable. Each “hair” or strand of Gold-filled wire represents certain aspects of the wearer’s life, such as love, health, wealth or success. The Gold-filled knots in this beautiful bracelet represent God’s hands holding the strands together.
14/20 gold-filled wire is a tube of 14k gold that is bonded by heat and pressure onto a core of jeweller’s brass. The 14 denotes the karat of the gold used, and the 20 denotes the percentage of 14k gold by weight in the piece of wire. Once bonded, the end result is a tube of very strong and durable wire which is resistant to tarnishing because of its thick gold bond.
Do not mistake gold-filled wire as being the same or similar to gold plated wire – there is a very big difference. Gold-filled wire is considered a precious alternative to very expensive solid gold. There is 100 times more gold in 14k gold-filled wire than in gold-plated jewellery.
Jewellery made of gold-filled wire have been around since the early 1900s and retain their beauty having stood the test of time. Be confident that when you purchase an item made with gold-filled wire that you are investing in a high-quality piece of jewellery that can last a lifetime with the proper care.
