How to Choose 14k Gold Jewelry
How to Choose 14k Gold Jewelry
Out of the many options available on the jewelry market today, nothing speaks to the timeless like 14k gold jewelry. At Catbird, we believe in a blend of beauty and sustainable sourcing. Dive into our expert guide on how to choose the best 14k gold pieces for your style.
Why Choose 14k Gold Jewelry
Going with gold means choosing purity and strength. 14k gold contains 58.3% pure gold and offers durability without sacrificing the warm luster that makes the precious metal so desirable. It's the perfect choice for everyday wear, guaranteed to remain beautiful for years to come. From 14k gold rings to 14k gold necklaces, each piece in the Catbird collection has an incomparable shine that is made to last.
Durability of 14k Gold Jewelry
14K gold has an inarguably superior durability. As opposed to 18K gold, which is softer due to higher gold content, 14k gold is scratch and bend-resistant and better suited to withstand daily wear. For pieces like 14k gold earrings and 14k gold anklets durability is a priority so you can style stress-free – we believe even the most precious jewelry should be unfussy. Our 14k gold pieces are crafted to endure the rigors of daily wear while maintaining their lasting quality.
What Does 14k Gold Mean/ What Is 14k Gold Made Of
14k gold signifies that the metal is 58.3% pure gold, with the remainder being a mix of other metals such as silver, copper, and zinc. 14k gold is composed of 14 parts pure gold and 10 parts alloy metals. This alloying process strengthens the gold, making it suitable for a wide range of jewelry pieces, ranging from a more delicate gold chain or stacking ring to robust gold signet rings.
Is It Better to Buy 14k or 18k Gold
When deciding between 14k and 18k gold, consider your lifestyle and how you plan to wear your jewelry. 14k gold is generally better for everyday wear due to its hardness and resistance. On the other hand, 18k gold, with its higher gold content, is softer and more prone to scratches but does offer a richer yellow hue. At Catbird, we recommend 14k gold for those who want both durability and beauty, especially for regularly worn pieces like 14k gold earrings and 14k gold rings.
