We purchase a wide variety of vintage and older rolled gold and gold-filled items, including:

  • Pocket watches and pocket watch cases
  • Rolled gold bangles and bracelets
  • Gold-filled lockets and chains

What is Rolled Gold?

Rolled gold (or gold-filled) is made by mechanically bonding a solid layer of gold—typically less than 5% of the item’s weight—to a base metal such as brass or copper. This creates a durable outer coating far thicker than standard gold plating.

Common in vintage pieces like watches and chains, rolled gold offers greater longevity and resale value compared to thinly plated items.

Rolled Gold vs Gold Plated

Though often confused, there are key differences:

  • Gold-filled: Contains 5–10× more gold than plating, bonded by heat and pressure.
  • Gold plating: Thin electroplated layer that wears off quickly.
  • Electroplate (HGE/HGP): Heavy gold electroplate with minimal gold content, not regulated.

With proper care, gold-filled jewellery can last decades, making it far more valuable than plated pieces.
