14K Gold, White Gold, and 925 Silver – What's the Difference and Which to Choose?

What is the difference between 14K gold, white gold, and 925 silver?

When choosing a custom piece of jewelry, one of the most common questions is: Which material should I choose? Here is a simple and clear explanation.

14K Yellow Gold

14 karat gold contains 58.5% pure gold. Its warm, golden color gives a feeling of warmth and richness. It is durable and suitable for pale and olive skin tones.

14K White Gold

White gold is 14K gold that has been processed with white metals (rhodium or palladium). The result: a modern and delicate silver-white color. Suitable for fair and rosy skin tones.

925 Silver

925 silver contains 92.5% pure silver. It is beautiful, durable, and suitable for any style. A major advantage: a more affordable price than gold.
