No. This chunky huggie hoop earring is 14K Gold Filled PLUS™: an 8–10 micron 14K gold PVD coating, about 2× the 4–5 micron industry average, over a 316L surgical steel core instead of the brass used in cheap gold-filled jewelry. It surpasses 12,000 hours of neutral salt-spray testing and is nickel-safe for sensitive skin, giving customers real gold below solid-gold prices.

Regular gold-filled jewelry bonds gold over a brass core, which can oxidize and discolor over time. Gold Filled PLUS™ applies an 8–10 micron 14K gold PVD coating, about 2× the industry average, over a 316L surgical steel core, so it's stronger, longer-lasting and safe for sensitive skin.
