METALS IN HISTORY:
One main goal of early alchemists was to produce gold from other substances, such as lead — presumably by the interaction with a mythical substance called the philosopher's stone. Although they never succeeded in this attempt, the alchemists promoted an interest in what can be done with substances, and this laid a foundation for today's chemistry. Their symbol for gold was the circle with a point at its center (☉), which was also the astrological symbol and the ancient Chinese character for the Sun.

What Is 14kt Gold-Filled?
14/20 wire or 1/20 Rolled gold is created by taking a sheet of 14 kt. Gold and bonding it through extreme heat and pressure to a core of semi-precious metal (brass). This is a very sophisticated process and only a few mills in the world do it. You should not mistake this process for gold plating there is a very big difference, as plating wears off. The end result is a 14kt. tube or sheet which is strong, durable, and polishes shiny like solid 14kt gold but much more affordable!
