Gold filled or silver filled wire, findings, beads, crucifixes and centers are made with a thin sheet
of gold or silver bonded to an inner core of base metal (often copper or brass).
Filled parts, especially gold, are much more expensive than standard plated
(that is, plated over base metal), but less expensive than solid precious metals.
All metals used are specified in each item's detail page, so that you know exactly what you're buying.
We do our best to identify the metal content of our vintage crucifixes, rosary centers,
Saint medals and findings.
