24k Gold Earrings: The Ultimate Purity

Most jewelry is 14k or 18k gold. But 24k gold is different. It is 99.9% pure gold. It has a rich, buttery yellow color that is unmistakable. It is the gold of ancient kings and queens.

Why Choose 24k?

• Hypoallergenic: It contains NO nickel or other alloys. It is the safest metal for sensitive ears. If you are allergic to everything else, try 24k.
• Investment: You are buying raw currency. The value of the earrings is tied directly to the spot price of gold. It is wearable wealth.
• The Color: The deep, intense orange-yellow glow is unlike anything else.

The Downside: Softness

Pure gold is soft.

24k gold earrings can bend easily. This is why you rarely see 24k rings (they would deform). However, for earrings, this softness is less of an issue since they don't take impact.

Care Tip: Be gentle when putting on the backings. Don't squeeze the post too hard.

Where to Buy

24k gold jewelry is standard in Asian markets (Chinese and Indian jewelry is often 22k or 24k). In the West, brands like Mene have popularized investment-grade 24k jewelry sold by gram weight.

For a more durable alternative with a similar look, consider 18k gold from high-end retailers like James Allen.
