18K Gold Sets

Q: What is the difference between 14k and 18k gold jewellery?

18 karat gold contains 75% pure gold, 14 karat sits at 58.5%. You see and feel the difference: a richer shine and a warmer colour.

Q: Can I wear 18k gold jewellery every day?

Yes, that is exactly what it is made for. Solid 18k gold does not discolour and leaves no traces on your skin, even after years of intensive wear.

Q: Is 18k gold jewellery suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Solid 18 karat gold contains no nickel or base metal, making it hypoallergenic. A safe choice even for the most sensitive skin.

A gold set at 18 karat brings together a curated combination of pieces made to wear together from day one, and at this level it should be exactly what it claims to be. Every piece in our 18k gold sets at TOV Essentials is made of solid 18 karat gold, stamped with its official 750 hallmark and backed by a digital Certificate of Authenticity, so you always know exactly what you own. We design every piece in-house and make it directly with skilled European ateliers, without the middlemen most jewellery passes through, so more of what you pay goes into the gold instead of markup.

Solid 18k gold, not plated, and why that matters

Solid gold is gold all the way through, not a thin layer over a cheaper base metal the way gold-plated sets are made, so it does not peel, fade, tarnish or mark your skin, even after years of daily wear, and our solid gold is nickel-free and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin. At 18 karat the gold content is higher than 14k, which gives it a warmer, richer, deeper yellow tone that is immediately visible on the skin. You pay more than for plated jewellery because you are buying real gold, and less than at the traditional luxury houses because we put the value into the gold and the craft instead of the markup.

The 18k difference: warmer colour, higher gold content

18 karat gold contains 75 percent pure gold, compared to 58.5 percent in 14 karat. That higher purity gives every piece its characteristic warm, saturated tone, and makes it the preferred choice for those who want their gold to look unmistakably golden. A set in 18k means every piece in the combination shares that same depth of colour, so the pairing feels considered and consistent from the start. Prefer everyday hardness over warmth? Explore the same combinations in our 14k gold sets.
