14k Solid Gold: The Superior Choice for Lasting Beauty
We’re proud to craft our fine jewelry using only 100% certified recycled 14k gold. That means every piece you purchase from us is made of solid gold, designed to stand the test of time. The certified recycled gold we use reflects our commitment to using only ethical and sustainable sourcing. Not only are we very particular about the gold we use, we also are meticulous in selecting the color of our 14k gold to complement a wide range of skin tones.
With so many terms floating around in the jewelry world, understanding the difference between various types of gold jewelry can be confusing. Here’s a quick guide to help you know what you’re really getting when you invest in gold:
Gold-Plated
This is the least expensive option, featuring a thin layer of gold over a base metal like brass or copper. While affordable, it’s prone to tarnishing and wear over time.
Gold Vermeil
A step up from gold plating, this involves a thicker layer of gold, usually over sterling silver. It’s higher quality than regular gold-plated jewelry but still not as durable as solid gold.
Gold-Filled
With a much thicker layer of gold compared to plating, gold-filled jewelry is more durable and lasts longer. However, it’s still a gold coating over a cheaper base metal.
All these alternatives may look like solid gold at first glance, but they’re simply layers of gold applied over metals that can tarnish easily, such as brass, silver, or copper. While these options vary in quality, none of them compare to the enduring beauty of solid gold, which maintains its shine, quality, and value for generations.
For our one-of-a-kind pieces, we carefully decided to use 14k gold, because it offers a perfect balance between durability and elegance. Compared to 18k and 24k gold, 14k gold is stronger and more resistant to scratches, making it ideal for everyday wear while still retaining the luxurious glow of fine jewelry.
Investing in solid gold means you’re choosing jewelry that’s not just beautiful but also built to last in any environment—whether you’re wearing it daily or saving it for special occasions.
At Savannah Friedkin, we believe in creating timeless pieces you can cherish forever, and solid gold is at the heart of that promise.
