What does “solid gold” mean?

Solid gold jewelry is made entirely of a gold alloy throughout the piece, not plated. This means your gold jewelry from Na Hoku will not wear away over time, making it a lasting and valuable choice.

What is the difference between 14k and 18k yellow gold?

• 14k yellow gold contains 58.3% pure gold and is blended with other metals for added durability. It is a popular choice for everyday wear due to its strength and resistance to scratching. • 18k yellow gold contains 75% pure gold, offering a richer golden color and a higher gold content. It is slightly softer than 14k gold but prized for its luxurious appearance and refined finish.

Is yellow gold good for everyday wear?

Yes, solid yellow gold jewelry, particularly pieces made in 14k gold, is an excellent choice for everyday wear. Solid gold means the piece is crafted entirely from a gold alloy throughout, not coated or plated, so the gold will not wear away over time.

Does yellow gold jewelry tarnish?

Pure gold does not tarnish, but 14k and 18k yellow gold can dull slightly over time because they contain alloyed metals. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth helps maintain its shine.

What causes allergic reactions to metal?

Allergic reactions to yellow gold are less common, especially when choosing high-quality, solid gold jewelry. Most reactions are caused by metals like nickel found in lower-quality alloys or in gold-plated pieces, where the plating can wear down over time and expose the skin to allergenic base metals. Opting for solid gold, not gold-gold plated, reduces the presence of common allergens and is a safer choice for those with sensitive skin. Na Hoku’s solid yellow gold designs offer added peace of mind for wearers prone to metal sensitivity.

How do I care for yellow gold jewelry?

To care for yellow gold jewelry, remove it before swimming, showering, or using harsh chemicals. Clean pieces gently with a soft cloth and store them separately to avoid scratches.

Does yellow gold look good on all skin tones?

Yes, yellow gold is known for its universal appeal. Its warm tone complements a wide range of skin tones, making it a popular and enduring choice.
