Hey folks, just wanted to get some opinions here. I’ve been eyeing a simple yellow gold ring for daily use, and I came across a few 14k options that look really nice. My only hesitation is whether 14k gold actually holds up well with regular wear. I don't take off rings that often — I wear them when I wash dishes, go out, whatever. I had a gold-plated piece once and it wore down fast, so I’m hoping solid 14k is a better bet. Has anyone here worn 14k yellow gold jewelry day to day? Curious if it scratches easily or loses its shine over time.

Popped in here just scrolling through topics and saw this one — brought back memories of when I used to shop for jewelry for my mom. She always preferred yellow gold over anything else. Never really thought about the difference in karats back then, but now I’m curious how it all compares. Might need to look into it again, maybe even get something small just for nostalgia.
