How do I clean 14k gold jewelry?
Answered
Any recommendations from people who actually own one? Budget is flexible but I do not want to overpay.

I have had mine for over two years now. I went with Blue Nile on Etsy and saved a lot. I would say yes, especially if you are on a budget. I have had zero problems so far.
Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. A friend of mine got hers from Tiffany and loves it. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.
This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Quick summary first, then details:
Step by Step
- Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
- Check the return policy on the listing
- Order a size slightly larger if unsure
- Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
- Store separately to avoid scratches
I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

This is one of the most common questions I see here.
My Setup
I wear mine every day, including to the gym and to sleep. After a year and a half it still looks brand new.
What to Watch Out For
- Buy from a reputable seller, not a random listing
- Ask about the color grade before you order
- Get a certificate of authenticity
My only regret is not sizing up slightly. It fits snug now that winter is coming.

Price Breakdown
| Option | Typical Cost |
| Lab created | $8,000 |
| Natural stone | 5-10x more |
| Plated alternative | $20-$50 but will tarnish |
Recommendation
If you are on the fence, go with the middle option. The plated stuff looks fine for a month then turns skin green. The natural stone is beautiful but the markup is brutal.
