Gold-filled items, even with daily wear, can last five to 30 years but will eventually wear through. This lower quality does not wear as well as gold-filled items. on items with lower thicknesses of gold than are required for "gold-filled."

The thinner layer on each side does not wear as well as single clad gold-filled. 1/20 14Kt double clad gold-filled has a layer on each side of 1/40th 14Kt making the total content of gold 1/20. "Double clad" gold-filled sheet is produced with 1/2 the thickness of gold on each side.
Some products are made using sterling silver as the base, although this more expensive version is not common today. The most common stamps found on gold-filled jewelry are 1/20 12kt GF and 1/20 14kt GF. If the gold layer is 12 kt or higher the minimum layer of karat gold in an item stamped GF must equal at least 1/20 the weight of the total item. If the gold layer is 10 kt fineness the minimum layer of karat gold in an item stamped GF must equal at least 1/10 the weight of the total item.
