What’s the Difference Between 14k and 18k Gold?

Tweet

Today I’m going to try to answer a question that I’m asked very often. What is the difference between 14 karat and 18 karat gold? And the difference is that the 18 karat contains more pure gold. 75 percent of the gold in 18 karats is pure, 25 percent is alloy, and in 14 karats there is 58 and a half parts of pure gold and 41 and a half parts of alloy.

Custom Jewelry Design - if you can imagine it, Jorge Adeler can create it

It seems the word "recycle" has been a bit overused lately. This being said, did you realize that by simply re-fashioning or re-designing a piece of jewelry you are actually "recycling"? One of the virtues of heirloom jewelry is that the component parts, as in the metal and gemstones used, can actually be reused. One of our specialties is not just custom jewelry design but rather custom re-design. So take a look at in that jewelry box and consider what pieces you have that no longer suit your style, are broken or perhaps just need a little updating, and make and appointment. After all, while our design consultations are ALWAYS free of charge, the results can often be priceless.

Adeler jewelry hits the red carpet

Many of Hollywood's most recognized celebrity faces have been spotted wearing custom designed Adeler jewelry everywhere from the Emmys to the Oscars. Stars like Katy Perry, Debra Messing and Jennifer Lopez have made Adeler one of their favorite choices. Check out our celebrity jewelry on the red carpet.
