Generally, the higher the percentage of precious metal, the higher the value. Jewellery that contains a high percentage of precious metal can definitely bring you more money. However, you should know that momentarily we buy gold filled items, but we do not buy gold plated items.
Gold plated jewellery is made of microscopic layer of gold spread onto the surface of another metal, most often copper or silver. The gold layer on plated jewellery provides an attractive finish, but due to its thickness, it can sometimes be rubbed off and this thin covering usually tarnishes over time or wears away.
Gold filled jewellery is made of a solid layer of solid gold sheets, bonded to a base of either sterling silver or some base metal and it is common in all types of jewellery. This gold layer typically constitutes at least 5% of the item's total weight. Unlike gold plated, gold filled jewellery has a measurable amount of gold in it and that weight of gold is marked on the gold filled jewellery.
Since gold jewellery is usually sold in alloy form, it is important to know how much pure gold it contains:
So if your find hallmark "1/5 12k GF" it means that your item is gold filled, it has a 12k gold layer on the surface that must weigh at least 1/5th the total weight of the item. These marks determine the value of your gold-filled item.
