We work with 14k and 18k fairmined gold in rose gold, yellow gold, or white gold. 4k and 18k refers to the content of gold in the alloy. 14k has 58.3% gold and 18k is 75% gold content. Both Karats are standard alloys for bridal jewelry. Since 18k has slightly more gold content it is technically a bit softer, but offers a much deeper gold color. 14k is the strongest and is a paler gold color.
Fairmined gold refers to the gold certification that we work with. We work with fairmined certified gold because it is the only gold that is certified ethical by offering fair pair to miners, sustainability improvements to mining operations, and safe toxic chemical handling.
