What Is Rolled Gold
Rolled gold, often referred to as gold-filled or gold overlay, is a durable and cost-effective alternative to solid gold. The process involves using two sheets of gold to sandwich another metal, typically copper or brass, and in some cases, silver. This sandwich is then heated and rolled out to form the raw material used in jewellery-making. This method provides a more durable option than traditional gold plating, ensuring items retain their gold appearance over time while remaining much more affordable than alloyed gold.
Common markings for this type of jewellery include engravings such as “1/20 10k GF,” “1/10 RG,” or terms like “metal core” or “gold overlay.” These hallmarks make it easier to identify and value rolled gold items. At Lois Bullion, we specialise in buying rolled gold and offer competitive rates based on today’s market prices. You can sell your rolled gold with confidence knowing you’re getting the best value.

What Is the Value of Rolled Gold?
The value of rolled gold depends on factors such as the thickness of the gold layer, the purity of gold used (e.g., 10k, 14k, 18k), and the weight of the item. Rolled gold is valued as a percentage of pure gold content and compared to its weight. At Lois Bullion, we provide a transparent and straightforward pricing model, ensuring you get the best possible deal for your items.

- An engraving stating “Rolled Gold” or “Gold Filled.”
- Proportional markings like “1/5th metal core,” “1/20 10k GF,” or “G.F.”
- Other descriptions such as “gold overlay” or “metal core.”
