About 14KGF

14KGF & Care

For jewelry you can love for a long time.

14KGF is a gold-filled material that has long been loved as a way to bring the beauty of gold into everyday life. A layer of 14k gold is bonded to a core metal with heat and pressure, giving the surface a substantial layer of gold. In the United States, the term “Gold Filled” is governed by a standard, and it is treated as a material containing a defined amount of gold — distinct from simple thin plating.

This is a time-honored technique also seen in antique jewelry. Among older gold-filled pieces that have been properly stored, some retain a beautiful golden surface even after many years, and 14KGF has long been valued as a material you can enjoy for a long time. At FUGA NY, we choose 14KGF as a material that lends a soft golden light to the colors and patterns of natural stones, letting you casually enjoy a refined shine in daily life.

Care

How to care

Four points to keep the shine beautiful for a long time.

  1. 01

    Wipe gently after wear

    After wearing, gently wipe away sweat and oils with a soft cloth, and store it away from humidity.

  2. 02

    Mind chemicals and moisture

    Perfume, cosmetics or moisture left on the surface can cause discoloration or dullness.

  3. 03

    When grime shows

    Wash gently with lukewarm water and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly before storing.

  4. 04

    For more thorough care

    Ultrasonic cleaning is also recommended for the 14KGF parts. However, it may not suit pearls, some natural stones, stones with many inclusions, or designs that involve adhesive. Care for jewelry using natural stones as gently as possible, according to the type of stone and the design.
