Precious Jewellery Metals Guide: Your Essential Companion
Why We Prefer 925 Sterling Silver with 14K Gold Finish
At Kesh Gemstone, we craft every piece using solid 925 sterling silver with a luxurious 14K gold finish, striking the perfect balance between timeless elegance, affordability, and durability. Sterling silver is hypoallergenic, sturdy for daily wear, and when paired with a 14K gold finish, it offers the warm glow of gold without compromising your budget or quality.
Using 925 silver as the base ensures structural integrity, while the 14K gold finish provides a rich, warm luster that pairs beautifully with HPHT natural diamonds. It is an ethical, sustainable choice, allowing you to own beautiful jewelry while minimizing environmental impact.
✨ Guide to Other Precious Metals in Jewelry
💛 Yellow Gold
Classic and timeless, yellow gold is popular for its warm color. 18K gold has higher purity and richer color, while 14K gold offers a balance between durability and cost. However, pure gold is soft, making it less suitable for daily-wear jewelry without alloying for strength.
🤍 White Gold
White gold offers a modern, sleek appearance and is often plated with rhodium for enhanced shine. It requires periodic replating to maintain brightness, making it higher maintenance than sterling silver with gold finish.
💗 Rose Gold
Rose gold has a romantic pink hue, achieved by alloying gold with copper. It is durable and offers a distinctive warm tone. However, copper may react with sensitive skin, so it may not be ideal for those with allergies.
🤍 Platinum
Platinum is a premium, hypoallergenic metal known for its weight and durability. It is more expensive and requires expert craftsmanship, making it a luxury choice for heirloom pieces.
💫 Why We Don't Use Solid Gold Alone
While gold is beautiful, it is soft and expensive, which increases cost for customers without necessarily adding practical value for daily wear. Our choice of 925 sterling silver with 14K gold finish combines the beauty of gold with the strength of silver to give you luxurious, durable jewelry at a fraction of the price of solid gold.
