Why 14K Gold Rings Are Always a Good Choice
A 14K gold ring is a classic piece of jewelry which has portrayed a sense of elegance for many centuries and continues to do so today. Many couples are now considering wedding rings made of white gold rather than the more traditional 14K yellow gold sets, in order to obtain the same level of quality found in yellow gold, but choosing the bright, clean luster that the white gold rings can offer. A 14K gold ring of high quality will keep its luster and will never discolor or rust and it will only need some routine cleaning.

The K referred to in 14K stands for carat, which is how the purity in gold is measured, with 24K representing the purest form used in jewelry. Pure gold is extremely soft and malleable; the higher the carat counts the softer the gold and the easier it will be damaged with daily wear. Lower carat counts are more durable, but they have a tendency to fade with time. In order to produce stronger metals, other minerals will be added which is what is indicated by the carats value; the higher the level of additional minerals, the lower the resulting carat will be. Yellow gold is typically mixed with palladium, silver or copper and it is the copper which adds the beautiful dark yellow luster that many people desire. The white gold is not actually white colored gold, but a mixture of gold with zinc or nickel to add extra strength as well as its bright luster. The 14K gold is stronger than gold that is pure, yet it retains enough malleability to allow beautiful designs to be created.
