FAQ
WHAT IS 18K GOLD?
18K gold is purer in composition and color compared to other types of gold jewelry, making it highly valued and esteemed as fine jewelry. With a higher percentage of pure gold, the color of 18K gold is richer and more intense. However, despite its deeper color, there is always a faint yellow undertone present in 18K gold jewelry.
An added benefit of 18K gold is that it is hypoallergenic. Some metal alloys used in jewelry contain nickel, which is a known allergen, but 18K gold contains only 25% metal alloy, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions. Additionally, because it’s made from pure gold, it does not tarnish and is both durable and valuable.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOLID GOLD, GOLD FILLED, AND GOLD PLATED?
-
Solid Gold: Solid gold is made from a uniform composition throughout the piece, with no coatings or overlays of cheaper metals. It is often an alloy and is identified by its karat value (e.g., solid 18K gold or solid 14K gold).
-
Gold Filled: Gold-filled jewelry is made by bonding a layer of gold to a base metal. It is less expensive than solid gold but still offers the appearance of gold.
-
Gold Plated: Gold-plated jewelry is made from a base metal (such as copper or silver) that has a very thin layer of gold applied to the surface. This layer is so thin that it can be rubbed off easily with a pencil eraser.
