What is Gold Jewelry?

 Gold jewelry is known for its beauty and lasting value, making it a top choice in fine jewelry.

Key Points

Composition

Pure gold (24K) is soft, and rarely used in Jewelry, so it’s often mixed with other metals to make it stronger. These mixtures are called alloys.

Types of Gold Jewelry 


  1. 18K Gold: 75% gold and 25% other metals. It’s the best color & quality and recommended if budget can be stretched.
  2. 14K Gold: 58.3% gold and 41.7% other metals. At Ocean, we use 14K gold because it offers the perfect balance between gold content and durability, making it ideal for everyday wear.
  3. 10K Gold: 41.7% gold and 58.3% other metals. It’s strong, durable and affordable.
  4. Gold Vermeil: This is high-quality gold-plated jewelry. At Ocean, our gold vermeil is sterling silver coated with a thick layer of gold, giving it the look and feel of solid gold without the high price.
