925 sterling silver wire around its brass core, and the sterling silver makes up 10% of the total wire (by seddon at dresshead tech). Customers seem to like the fact that 14/20 gold-filled jewelry 'matches' and wears like their 14k pieces, and love that it is more affordable!Īs far as silver wire, our sterling silver filled wire is labeled as 1/10. 14/20 has a more rich, gold color, while a lower value such as 12/20 is more yellow or brassy. The purity of gold karat is determined by the amount of pure gold in a product, as described in detail in the article Carat (Purity).Īlthough a lower quality of gold filled may be less expensive, the color is why I personally make my choice.
With relation, if a product is named or stamped 12/20, it is made of 1/20 of 12 karat gold. Great question Deborah, thanks! By law ( FTC Link), when a product is marked with the fraction 14/20, it means that the item must contain 1/20 of 14 karat gold with relation to the brass fill/core (5%).

I know the 14 is 14 karat, but what does the 20 stand for? Thank you.
Hi Dale- I have a question about 14/20 gold filled wire.
