1.Please explain "14kt gold filled"

Gold filled wire is not plated. 14K gold filled wire is a professional jewelers grade wire. It will not tarnish, crack, chip, peel, or turn your skin green. Under normal circumstances it will last an entire lifetime and is safe for most people with sensitive skin who can wear solid 14 karat gold jewelry. It is a tube of solid 14K gold that is then filled with jeweler's brass. There is 100 times more gold in gold filled than in gold plate wire.
