1) WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 10K, 14K & 18K Gold?

• 10 Karat (10K): Comprising 41.7% pure gold, this option offers higher durability due to a larger proportion of alloyed metals.

• 14 Karat: With 58.3% purity, it strikes an appealing balance between richness and resilience.

• 18 Karat (18K): Containing 75% pure gold, this choice provides a deeper hue while still maintaining sufficient sturdiness for regular use.

Each step down in karats not only affects the metal's hardness but also subtly alters its color—the more alloys mixed with the golden core; generally speaking, the less vibrant yellow tone you will notice.

Here are some considerations to help guide your choice:

• Lifestyle: Think about how often and where you will be wearing this jewelry. If you lead an active life or work with your hands, a more durable option like 10K may serve you best.

• Occasion: For those special events where elegance takes center stage, an 14k & 18K piece might provide that extra touch of luxury and rich coloration.

• Budget: Your spending plan will influence whether a more affordable 10K item fits better than something pricier in higher-karat gold.  

2) Why is my silver changing color?

This is very common for silver jewelry and it is called tarnishing. The good news is tarnishing only occurs on the surface and can be polished away. If you want your white metal jewelry to not tarnish, opt for white gold or platinum- neither of these metals will tarnish.
