14k Gold Plated Jewelry
Our 14k gold-plated jewelry gives you that warm yellow gold look for everyday wear, at a price that makes it easy to build a collection. Each design starts with a sterling silver or brass base, then gets a layer of 14k gold plating.
Gemstones and Stone Colors in the Collection
Almost every stone in this collection is natural, from amethyst and citrine to garnet, peridot, opal, blue topaz, and pearl. Ruby and aquamarine are the two exceptions, and we use lab-grown versions of both. Not sure where to start? Pick a stone color you already wear a lot.
Red garnet is the one we point most people to this time of year, because that deep red against yellow gold looks expensive without trying. Blue topaz and aquamarine feel lighter and brighter. Pearl and white topaz are the easy picks, and they go with a black dress just as easily as a white tee. Pair a necklace with earrings in the same stone to complete the look. If you lean toward silver tones, our sterling silver jewelry collection is the better place to look.
What to Look for Before You Buy
If you've been waiting on a Black Friday fine jewelry sale to grab the piece sitting in your cart, our Black Friday Jewelry Deals collection is where this season's markdowns go. Black Friday sales typically start the day after Thanksgiving, so this year that's November 27. Across the industry, Black Friday jewelry deals often include discounts of up to 50%, and some fine jewelry discounts reach 70%. Earrings, necklaces and pendants, bracelets, and rings show up in most of these promotions, and some stores add watches too.
Before you buy, compare the sale price to what you've been seeing all year, since some retailers raise prices just before a Black Friday sale so the discount looks bigger. That way you know how much you really save. Then look at the craftsmanship. Prongs should hold the stone snugly, clasps should open and close smoothly, and the piece should feel solid rather than flimsy. Black Friday is a good time to treat yourself or pick up something for someone you love, and honestly, one piece you'll wear constantly beats three you won't.
Frequently Asked Questions - 14K Gold Plated Jewelry
What is 14K gold plated jewelry?
14k gold-plated jewelry is a type of jewelry where a thin layer of 14k gold is applied over a sterling silver or brass base. This gives you the look of yellow gold at a lower price than solid gold.
How durable is 14K gold plated jewelry?
14k gold-plated jewelry is made for everyday wear, and if well maintained, it can last for a long time. Our pieces are tarnish-resistant and water-resistant, but the gold layer can wear off over time with friction or harsh chemicals. If you want something you can wear in the shower or at the gym, our 14k gold-filled jewelry is fully waterproof.
How should I care for my 14K gold-plated jewelry?
To keep your 14k gold-plated jewelry looking its best, put it on after perfume and lotion, and skip long soaks in water. It's water-resistant, so washing your hands while wearing it is fine. Wipe it with a soft cloth and store it in a dry area of the house away from direct sunlight.
What makes 14K gold-plated jewelry different from solid gold jewelry?
14k gold-plated jewelry has a thin layer of gold over a sterling silver or brass base; 14k solid gold jewelry is made from a pure gold alloy all the way through. This makes gold-plated pieces more affordable while still giving you the look of gold. Solid gold is the better buy for an heirloom you'll wear for decades, while plated makes more sense if you like changing up your look.
Can I get my 14K gold plated jewelry re-plated?
Yes, plated jewelry can be re-plated, but please reach out to us before taking a piece to a jeweler. If your jewelry tarnishes sooner than it should, we'll fix it for you, and work done by an outside repair service voids our 1-year warranty.
Is 14k gold plated jewelry good for sensitive skin?
Yes. All of our plated pieces are nickel-free and hypoallergenic, so they're a safe pick if regular fashion jewelry irritates your skin. Earlobes are usually where sensitivity shows up first, so our earrings are a good place to start if you've had reactions before.
What should I check before buying 14k gold plated jewelry on sale?
Read the material line and return terms on each listing. Customized, engraved, and Last Chance pieces are final sale, while other pieces can be returned within 14 days of delivery. For timing tips and how to spot a real discount, read our Ultimate Guide to Black Friday Jewelry Deals 2026.
How do I judge gemstone quality when shopping a sale?
Independent grading reports from labs like GIA or AGS add transparency and confirm authenticity on higher-priced stones. We don't carry diamonds, but the moissanite pieces in this collection give you a similar white sparkle. Colored gemstones like the amethyst, garnet, and citrine in this collection usually aren't graded that way, so look closely at color, clarity, and cut in the product photos instead. Every stone we use is a genuine natural or lab-grown gemstone, never glass.
