Solid Yellow Gold Jewelry to Wear Everyday
In solid 14 or 18-karat yellow gold, wear this everyday gold jewelry without having to worry about tarnishing, oxidation or discoloration
Although gold pleated and vermeil jewelry is markedly more affordable, time and usage may cause these pieces to eventually oxidize, discolor, or lose their luster. Despite initially looking strikingly similar to solid gold, pleated pieces are usually only covered by a very thin layer that will eventually tarnish and lose its original appeal. Since the base metal is typically inexpensive, the user’s type of skin and storage methods are also important factors to consider when owning non-gold jewelry pieces. These less expensive compositions can also irritate your skin, causing rashes and other reactions.
Considering all of this, investing in solid gold jewelry pieces may be the best way to go. And, although your jewelry collection may not be able to grow as rapidly, it is guaranteed that your purchases will last forever. Whether it’s 14 or 18-karat gold, there’s nothing like being able to wear your jewelry daily without having to worry about oxidation or discoloration.
