Rhodium Plated Silver Jewellery

14k Solid Gold Jewellery
What is 14k gold jewellery?
- 14k gold is a popular choice for jewellery because of its durability and affordability. The "14k" refers to the purity of the gold, with 14 parts out of 24 being pure gold and the remaining 10 parts made up of other metals. This blend makes it stronger and more scratch-resistant than higher karat gold like 18k or 24k.
- Absolutely! 14k solid gold is a great option for everyday jewellery. Its durability and strength make it perfect for daily wear, whether you're heading to work or running errands. Unlike higher karat gold options which are softer and more prone to damage, 14k gold is more sturdy and resistant to scratches and dents - it's meant to be worn every day!
- 14k gold doesn't tarnish easily because it's almost 60% pure gold mixed with other metals. Yet, to keep your bling looking fresh, make sure to clean it regularly.
- Store your pieces in separate pouches when not wearing them. Avoid exposing your jewellery to chemicals as they can damage the gold. Clean your gold jewellery regularly with a soft cloth to remove any dirt. Consider having a professional jeweller professionally clean and inspect your pieces annually to ensure they are in good condition. With just a little TLC, your 14k solid gold jewellery will continue looking stunning for years to come.
- To clean your 14k gold jewellery, rinse the piece thoroughly with clean warm water and pat it dry with a soft cloth. For extra shine, you can also polish your gold jewellery with a jewellery polishing cloth specially made for gold.
