The jewelry is not actually filled, but is made of base metal (usually brass or copper) covered by sheets of gold in a mechanical bonding process.
Mechanically-bonded (as opposed to electrolytically applied) sandwich consisting of base metal on the inside, and a gold alloy on the outside.

Brown Shell Ovals and Gold Bracelet
This is one of my favorite pieces of late. It's best viewed in "large" so you can get a real feel for the striations in the shell. It reminds me of Tiger's Eye without the heft. I used little 14K Gold Filled beads as spacers and to add fluid movement and comfort. The toggle clasp is 14K Gold Filled as well.
You can see how large the ovals are with the coin in the photo. Large but light weight.
