At Pink Flower Jewelry, all of our pieces are 14k gold plated or gold filled.  Both have a layer of real gold over a base metal, which is a much more affordable option with the same benefits as solid gold.  You can click on any item and scroll down to the description to check if it is gold-filled or gold-plated.  Our pieces will not tarnish, will not turn your skin green, and are safe for sensitive skin because of the high-quality plating.  Plus, they're super cute and make great gifts.  Happy shopping!
