Description -Material:14k Gold Filled -Shape: Saucer -Size:3mm – .8mm hole (20 beads/package) These beautiful gold-filled beads are perfect as an accent bead or a focal bead. Gold plated means that a thin layer of gold is sprayed onto a base metal to fill in imperfections and further coat the object, this method is cheaper but the gold will wear off eventually. If something is gold-filled that means that an actual layer of gold is mechanically bonded to a base metal. The layer of gold is significantly thicker than if it were gold plated. The gold will last longer and will not wear away.
