When you are trying to decide what type of gold you want to purchase in jewelry, it really comes down to two main factors:

• how much you want to spend
• how long you want your jewelry to last

14k gold jewelry will last virtually forever, but they are the most expensive option due to the amount of gold in the piece

14k gold filled jewelry is a step down from solid gold. For many customers, they offer the ideal balance of price and quality.  Price is lower than solid gold but quality is still top notch.

Gold-plated pieces (which I do not sell)  are typically the least expensive option, and offer much lower quality. These pieces could easily chip or flake and there are few standards about what base metal can be used.
