14K gold is the most popular precious metal alloy sold in the U.S. The bright yellow luster lasts indefinitely. Occasional cleaning/polishing keeps it bright and beautiful. Gold filled is made with less gold than 14K and costs less. It is durable and can be worn by most people without reactions or difficulties. The metal needs more care to maintain the luster. With continual wear and consideration of one’s lifestyle, the luster may last 1-5 years.
