Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers about our gold jewelry, materials, shipping, and returns.
1. Does 14K gold tarnish?
Real 14K gold doesn't tarnish or rust because it's 58.3% pure gold mixed
with stronger alloys. What can happen is dulling over time from contact
with lotions, sweat, chlorine, or perfumes. Gentle cleaning with warm
water, mild dish soap, and a soft cloth keeps it bright. Solid 14K gold
keeps its color for a lifetime with basic care.
2. What's the difference between a 14kt gold chain and a 10kt gold chain?
10k gold has less pure gold and more alloy metals, so it is harder and more resistant to scratches, while 14k gold has a higher gold content, a richer color, and a slightly higher price. Both are suitable for daily wear; the choice mainly comes down to budget, color preference, and sensitivity to metals.
3. Is 14K gold good for everyday wear?
Yes — 14K gold is one of the most popular choices for daily wear in the
US. It contains 58.3% pure gold mixed with durable alloys, giving you a
rich gold color that resists scratches and dents better than 18K or 22K.
It's the standard for wedding rings, men's chains, and pendants meant
for lifelong wear. More affordable than higher karats, more durable than
10K isn't (10K is actually harder, but 14K has a richer color).
4. Can I wear my jewelry in the shower or while swimming?
Wearing jewelry in the shower or pool is not recommended because soaps, shampoos, and chlorine can dull metals and damage some stones over time. It is better to remove chains, pendants, and rings before swimming, showering, or using hot tubs to keep them looking their best for longer.
5. How do I clean my gold chain at home?
The easiest way to clean a gold chain at home: mix a few drops of mild
dish soap into warm (not hot) water, soak the chain for 10–15 minutes,
then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. Rinse with clean water and pat
dry with a lint-free cloth. Skip toothpaste, baking soda, or any abrasive
cleaner — they scratch gold. For chains with diamonds or gemstones, the
same method works. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners on hollow chains.
6. How can I tell if my gold chain is real?
Four quick checks. First, look for a karat stamp — real gold is stamped
10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, or 24K, usually near the clasp. Second, hold a
strong magnet to it — real gold isn't magnetic; if it sticks, it's fake
or heavily mixed with iron. Third, check for color changes or green
marks on your skin after wearing — real gold doesn't leave marks. Fourth,
take it to a jeweler for an acid test or electronic gold tester — both
give a definitive answer in seconds. Every chain we sell at Captain
Bling Jewelers is real, stamped karat gold.
7. How do I clean diamond earrings?
Soak diamond earrings in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap
for 15–20 minutes. Use a soft toothbrush to gently clean behind the
stones — that's where oils and product buildup hide. Rinse with warm
water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. For studs and small diamonds,
hold them carefully so you don't drop them down the drain. Skip
toothpaste, ammonia, or harsh cleaners — they damage the metal setting.
Clean diamond earrings every 2–3 weeks if you wear them daily.
