Thoughts on 14k vs 18k yellow gold. I was planning on doing 14k but can’t get 18k out of my head. I’m doing a brushed finish solitaire. My reasoning for 14k over 18 was for durability reasons. I want it suitable for everyday wear. I’m terrified that 18 will scratch really easily especially in a matte finish. Thoughts?
I made my wedding ring from 18K with equal parts silver and copper 12.5%. It is pretty scratch resistant, but has some scratches.
