About Our Gold Filled Beads

Gold filled is different from gold plated. Plated beads carry a gold layer under 0.5% of total weight, gold filled runs close to 5%, roughly 100 times more. That's why gold filled beads resist tarnish through regular wear, and under normal wear and proper care, they maintain their finish significantly longer than standard plated beads.

All beads here are seamless round, no solder line, which is usually where tarnish starts first. These work well as gold filled spacer beads or as a standalone accent, depending on the size. Sizes run 2mm and 3mm for spacers, 4mm and 5mm for layered pieces, 6mm as a standalone statement bead. Every batch is inspected for consistent sizing, finish, and color to support reliable jewelry production.

Standard sizes stay in stock, so bulk orders ship within a few business days. For wholesale pricing, log into your account, quantity discounts apply automatically at checkout. At Tresor Jewelry Inc., we maintain consistent inventory and quality across every batch to support both independent jewelry makers and wholesale buyers.
