14K gold-plated jewelry

If you're shopping for 14K jewelry, the 14K here describes the purity of the gold in the plating layer, not the whole piece. The pieces themselves are medical steel or medical gold with a yellow gold-tone finish.

14K gold hoops here are plated and come in two kinds: plain hoop earrings and hinged hoops, where a segment on a hinge snaps into the ring itself. Other earrings close with a push back, where a straight post goes through the piercing and a back holds it; a leverback, where a hinged loop or shaped plate snaps onto the end of a curved hook so the earring hangs below the lobe and won't slip out on its own; or an open fish hook with no lock. Browse them all in 14K gold-plated earrings.

Most of this gold-plated range is women's 14K gold jewelry, with a few unisex designs. Motifs include the four-leaf clover, hearts, teardrops, butterflies, flowers and stars; stones range from cubic zirconia and pearls to Swarovski crystals and jasper, while enamel and ceramic add color. Necklaces come with a pendant, as a plain chain or beaded: see 14K gold-plated necklaces and pendants.

Chains come in anchor, snake, curb, Singapore and Bismarck weaves, bracelets as bangles or adjustable sliders, and rings as smooth bands or open designs. Find them in 14K gold-plated chains, bracelets and rings, or pick a coordinated look from yellow gold-tone sets.
