Unlike gold plated, vermeil, or filled jewelry, 14k gold doesn't easily succumb to tarnishing or turn your finger green or black. Tarnish can plague fashion jewelry, leaving them blackened and lackluster. That's because it has a thin layer of gold over a base metal will wear off over time, leaving your piece far from its original shine. Vermeil jewelry, while plated over sterling silver, is still susceptible to tarnishing, especially when exposed to water and harsh materials.

Gold filled jewelry may seem like a safe bet, but it still cannot guarantee anti-tarnish capabilities. While more durable than plated or vermeil, gold-filled pieces can still tarnish overtime because the plating will wear off.

Investing in 14k gold jewelry is a smart choice. Not only does it retain its dazzling beauty, but it also holds its value over time. As a precious metal, 14k gold is a sound investment that can grace your collection for generations.
