18 karat yellow gold has a deeper yellow tone than 14 karat, 14 karat white gold has a stronger white color than 18 karat, 14 karat rose gold is pinker than 18 karat, and so on. Sometimes 14 karat is the best complement to the desired gemstones for the piece or it simply looks more attractive.

Is gold-plated jewelry waterproof?
Yes, gold-plated jewelry is waterproof, but it should not be abused, as it can be more or less water-resistant depending on the micrometer of the plating (gold layers). Between 1 and 3 micrometers of gold can lose their gold color over time.
