Gold filled is a layer of gold over a base metal. It has a solid gold outer core and is pressure bonded to a high quality bass metal, which are most commonly brass, and sometimes Copper. Gold filled jewellery pieces do not tarnish and are waterproof.

However it is best to keep them away from chemicals and lotions.

Sterling Silver is a material that is again like Gold Filled, layered onto a base metal, usually copper. Sterling Silver isn’t effected by water and will last years if looked after properly.

Gold Plated & Silver Plated have a very considerable less amount of Gold/Silver on, which is why it isn’t as durable as Gold Filled & Sterling Silver. However, Gold/Silver Plated pieces can last for a good while if looked after properly.
