What is 1/20 12kt Yellow Gold-Filled?
It is a layer of 12kt yellow gold, bonded by heat and pressure to a layer of brass.
1/20 is the ratio of 12kt gold to brass by weight. Gold content by weight is 2.5%.
Since the gold layer is thin, care must be taken not to burn or polish through it when soldering or buffing.
