What Should You Buy?

Solid gold is durable and it does not change.  It can also be bought and kept as an investment.  Whilst gold plated jewellery can sometimes last for a life time if kept well.  So if you want to buy gold jewellery, always check your budget and then decide on the option that is best for you.

Solid gold is durable, so it is a better choice for jewelry you'll wear regularly. If you have allergies to nickel or other metals, choose items that have high gold content, such as 18K or 22K gold jewelry.

Gold plated jewelry is suitable for jewelry that you wear occasionally. Also, it might last you for years if you keep it well.

For pieces that will last a lifetime and beyond, buy the highest quality gold your budget allows.
