Over 20 years ago, Golden Mile were looking for a way to make hollow jewellery more durable, without the price of solid gold, and this is where we came up with our Silver Filled manufacturing processes.
We designed machinery to give us the best manufacturing processes available to us, which made us leaders in producing our Silver Filled jewellery, and for a very long time, the only ones in Australia (or maybe even the world), to be making it. Over time, manufacturers caught on to the idea, and started to mimic our products, but to a different standard to the strict ones we adhere ourselves to.
How is our Silver Filled jewellery different to what else is on the market?
Our production process uses a hollow gold tube, which is then inserted with a solid sterling silver core. This is bonded together in an oven, which glues the gold and silver together, to prevent any air gaps appearing during the next stage of manufacturing. This is then drawn down to size, and bent into shape based on the product that you order. The final product does not have a 'sleeve' over the join, as we produce a seamless, high polish finish.
When we make our Silver Filled products, we work to have the same gold thickness as the hollow equivalent that we produce (which is also a thicker layer - see more details below).
For example, a 4mm golf bangle in hollow that we make, is virtually the same gold content and same price as a 4mm golf bangle in Silver Filled.
Our standard gold thickness is 0.30 - 0.35mm thick on our Silver Filled.
The average product made in other countries has a gold layer of approximately 0.01 - 0.03mm thick, which is less than 1/10th of what we produce at Golden Mile. This is then generally layered over a hollow silver tube, which has an average combined total thickness of gold and silver at 0.3mm thick.
The term 1/10th or 1/20th gold over silver is used a lot for imported products, however this can be misleading, as the actual quantity of gold is quite minimal in comparison.
We understand that the imported variations of 'filled' or 'bonded' products have turned people off filled jewellery, but please know that we stand by our product 100%.
To offer peace of mind, we offer a 10 year warranty on all silver filled bangles, and a 5 year warranty on all silver filled chains.
