Metal Guide: Sterling Silver, 14K Gold over Silver and 14K Gold

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver mixed with other metals for strength, often stamped ".925." It is bright, durable for everyday wear and affordable.

14K Gold over Silver

A sterling silver piece finished with a layer of 14K gold. You get the look of gold at a silver price. The gold layer can wear over time with heavy use, so remove it before swimming, showering or exercising.

Solid 14K Gold

14K gold is 58.5% pure gold, alloyed for strength. It doesn't wear away like a gold layer and is a great choice for engagement rings and everyday pieces. Our lab-grown diamond collection is available in 14K white gold and 14K yellow gold.
