14K or 18K gold: what’s the difference?
Karat measures gold content. 18K has a higher gold content and a richer colour. 14K contains more alloy metals, making it harder-wearing and more affordable.
| Karat | Gold content | Stamp | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18K | 75% | 750 | Engagement rings and heirloom pieces |
| 14K | 58.5% | 585 | Everyday wear, studs, bracelets and pendants |
Yellow, white or rose gold?
The colour comes from the metals alloyed with gold.
- Yellow gold: warm and traditional, and flatters warmer diamond colours
- White gold: rhodium plated for a bright white finish that can be renewed
- Rose gold: copper gives the pink, so its colour doesn’t rely on plating
Which gold jewellery can you buy?
Gold engagement rings, gold wedding and eternity rings for women and men, gold diamond studs, gold tennis bracelets, and gold solitaire and halo pendants.
How do you care for gold jewellery?
