14K Yellow Gold Jewelry FAQs
Is 14K yellow gold the same as 14K gold?
+
Yes, 14k yellow gold refers to the same metal as just saying 14k gold. This type of precious metal is low maintenance, won’t tarnish, and lasts for years! Helen Ficalora’s collection of 14k yellow gold jewelry includes charms, necklaces, rings, & more, and is here for all of your most dazzling desires.
Is 14k yellow gold worth buying?
+
Yes! Gold is considered a safe, long-lasting, “inflation-proof” investment. It’s even able to be counted as an asset, including 14k yellow gold jewelry. Be sure to invest in your new favorite pieces of 14k yellow gold rings, charms, necklaces, & more with Helen’s collection.
Is 14K or 18K yellow gold better?
+
While there are benefits to both types, 18k gold has the purer composition. 14 karat yellow gold is about 58% gold, but due to its mixture of other metals, lasts longer and tarnishes less. 18k is 75% gold and consequently requires a little more care and upkeep. Helen’s entire collection of jewelry is comprised of 14k yellow gold, as well as pink and white gold.
Can I wear 14k yellow gold in the shower?
+
Yes, all 14k gold necklaces, charms, rings, and more are safe to wear in the shower; however, it’s always good practice to polish your pieces if you get them wet or sweat in them often. While not technically required, it will help contribute to the longevity of your 14k yellow gold jewelry.
Is this real solid gold?
+
Yes. Every item in this collection is crafted from solid 14k yellow gold. We do not sell hollow or plated jewelry. You can feel the quality in the weight and durability of each piece.
How do I clean yellow gold?
+
Yellow gold is easy to maintain. We recommend soaking it in warm water with a mild soap, then gently scrubbing with a soft toothbrush. For a quick shine, our polishing cloths work wonders to restore its natural glow.
Can I mix yellow gold with other metals?
+
Absolutely. Mixed metal styling is very on-trend. Try stacking a Yellow Gold Ring with a White Gold Band, or layering yellow and rose gold chains for a modern, textured look.
Does yellow gold tarnish?
+
Solid 14k yellow gold is highly resistant to tarnish. While it may darken slightly over long periods of non-wear, a quick polish will instantly restore its original shine. It will never rust or flake like plated jewelry.
