18K gold wedding bands

Short answer: 18K gold is 75% pure gold, giving a richer, warmer color than 14K and less alloy metal for sensitive skin. It is softer, so it shows wear a little sooner. At Ivevar, 18K gold bands start at $1,489 with moissanite and $1,684 with lab grown diamonds, at the time of writing.

Is 18K Right for You?

Choose 18K if you love a deep yellow or rose color, have sensitive skin, or want a more luxurious feel. Choose 14K if you are hard on your hands or want to save. 18K white gold is rhodium plated and needs replating from time to time to stay bright.
