One of the biggest reasons people choose solid gold jewellery over cheaper alternatives is that it looks more luxurious and will continue to look that way. Cheaper alternatives will look nice at first but tends to deteriorate.
Gold-plated and gold-filled jewellery can chip and fade over time, whilst solid gold jewellery doesn’t have this problem. Solid gold jewellery can still be chipped and scratched but will still keep its lovely gold colour and more than likely can be easily repaired if it needs to be.
Solid gold jewellery makes great family heirlooms as it can last lifetimes when treated with care. It can also be melted down and used to make something else whilst also keeping the emotional family connection. Cheaper alternatives such as gold-plated jewellery cannot be melted down as they are created using a cheaper base metal and then plated in gold. Gold jewellery can also hold a lot of value and sometimes become more valuable over time.
Another reason for choosing solid gold is that you can wear it all of the time, it will not ever fade, tarnish or discolour your skin. Plus, it is hypoallergenic and generally suits all skin types.
So, when looking for jewellery, ask yourself: how long you want it to last... do you want to be able to hand it down to future generations and for it to become something sentimental for lifetimes to come... do you want to be able to wear your jewellery all the time and not have to take it off for certain activities...
