Why Does 18K Gold Have a Richer, Darker Hue than 14K?Updated 2 months ago

Our 18K gold jewelry is crafted with real 18K gold bonded over hypoallergenic stainless steel or sterling silver, resulting in a richer and bolder color. This is because 18K gold contains 75% pure gold, compared to 14K gold, which contains only 58% gold. The higher gold content in 18K naturally gives it a deeper, more vibrant hue.

18K gold’s deeper hue presents its higher gold content, enhancing its natural warmth and glow. This bold tone underscores the timeless appeal of our pieces.
