Bello Villa: The Best Place to Buy 14K Solid Gold Jewelry

14-Karat Gold

• Pros: A good mix of purity, durability, and value
• Cons: More expensive than 10K gold but still affordable

14K is the most common used gold for engagement rings, wedding bands, and other fine jewelry.   It has a bright yellow hue color and is durable for everyday wear.  14K is affordable and will last a lifetime.   It will not tarnish or oxidize and will last a lifetime.   

24K gold is pure gold.  14K gold may incorporate zinc, nickel, silver, or copper, and is approximately 58% gold. 14k gold is the best for long-term wear while still keeping its luster. The biggest advantages of choosing 14k gold over 18k and 24k are its durability and affordability.  The reason that 14k gold is more durable is because of the mixture of metals which gives it resistance to scratching.  The higher the karat the less durable the metal will be.   

All precious metals have their pros and cons.  The disadvantage of 14K gold is that it will need to be polished over time to maintain its shine and beauty.  That's where Bello Villa comes in.  Once you purchase a fine jewelry from us you will have a lifetime warranty which covers polishing.  Simply send us your jewelry and we will polish it for you and send it back.  We recommend you polish your wedding jewelry once a year.  In some cases if someone has an allergy to nickel, copper, or other alloys used in 14K gold may experience some irritation.  In this case, 18k solid gold is a better option.
