14K solid gold contains 58.5% pure gold alloyed with copper and silver for strength. Gold content is consistent throughout the piece — not plated, not filled, not vermeil. 14K provides an ideal balance between purity and durability for body jewelry: higher karat values (18K, 24K) are too soft for threaded ends and daily wear, while 14K maintains the rich color and hypoallergenic properties gold is known for. Available in yellow, white, and rose gold through precise alloy adjustments — not surface plating.
