It means that the item is plated in such a way that gold makes up at least 1/20th of the total weight of the item. So, it's gold plated, which means real gold fused to base metal.

It means that the necklace is made of 12 karat gold, which is 50% pure gold. The 1/20 indicates that 1/20th of the necklace's weight is made up of 12K gold, while the rest may be other metals or an alloy.

Yes, "1/20th 12K" or "1/20 12K" on a gold necklace indicates that the necklace is gold filled. This means that 1/20th of the weight of the necklace is made up of 12K gold. It is not solid gold, but rather a layer of gold bonded to a base metal.
