WHAT IS 18K GOLD?

18 karat gold jewelry is 75% gold and 25% metal alloy. 18k gold color is closer to gold color compared to lesser karats as 14k and 10k. 18k gold is more valuable and great for investment purposes. By buying 18 karat gold you know that you’re not spending money on jewelry that will be thrown away or tarnish and change color. Your jewelry will last a lifetime and will not tarnish or change color. It is also good for resale. 18 karat gold is the ‘bread and butter’ for jewelry as higher karats as 22k will scratch very easily and are soft and more malleable so there is risk of damage when wearing. The color of 18 karat gold jewelry is the prettiest and most classy compared to higher and lower karats. When you think of the color of gold you probably have the 18k gold color in mind. 18 karat gold jewelry is also non allergic and people can wear it safely without getting any reaction.

DOES 18k GOLD JEWELRY TARNISH OR BLACKEN?

18karat gold jewelry will not tarnish or blacken because such jewelry is made of pure gold, which does not combine with, or otherwise react to oxygen.
