Where other metals may tarnish or degrade, 14kt gold resists considerably well. The patina that develops over time is simply a surface characteristic, while the underlying color and structural integrity hold for a lifetime.
Elemental Detail
The warm yellow of 14kt gold is the result of a precise calibration: silver and copper added alongside the gold, each in proportions that produce the characteristic tone associated with fine yellow gold.
Industry Insight
A jewelry bead is a shaped, perforated unit of precious metal, gemstone, glass, or organic material designed to be strung or linked in sequence. The modular construction that results is what gives bead jewelry its flexibility in length and material combination.
