Karat (K) tells you how much gold is in something. Pure gold is 24 karats, which means 100% gold. But pure gold is super soft. It’s not great for piercings that move a lot or get touched often.
14K solid gold has 58.3% pure gold and 41.7% alloy metals. These extra metals—like copper, silver, palladium, or zinc—make it stronger. They help it last longer without bending or scratching, unlike fancier gold.
Without those extra metals, gold would be too squishy. Alloys make 14K solid gold tough enough for everyday piercings. But you gotta pick safe alloys that won’t make your skin mad.
Hypoallergenic means it’s not likely to make your skin itchy or red. For piercings, it’s about metals that don’t let out nickel, the top troublemaker for skin allergies.
Nickel can cause rashes, redness, or itchiness for some folks. Good news! 14K solid gold from trusted places like GPF is nickel-safe or totally nickel-free. That makes it super comfy for most people.
At GPF, all our 14K gold body jewelry is made with skin-friendly mixes. We check every batch and share certificates of authenticity. These prove our stuff meets world safety rules.
14K solid gold is the best mix—tough, pretty, and kind to most skin types.
Some people think they’re allergic to gold. But usually, they’re reacting to sneaky metals like nickel or cobalt in bad alloys.
If you get these, switch to hypoallergenic stuff like GPF’s 14K solid gold. Also, talk to a skin doctor for a patch test. GPF’s GU60G Labret Stud y GZ81G Heart Segment Ring are loved by tons of people with sensitive skin—no itchies reported!
14K solid gold is awesome, but there are other safe metals too. Here’s how they compare:
| Metal | Hypoallergenic | Good Stuff | Not-So-Good Stuff |
| 14K Gold | Sí | Tough, fancy, works for lots of looks | A bit more money |
| Titanium | Sí | Super skin-friendly | Looks plain, not super fancy |
| Platinum | Sí | Strong, doesn’t rust | Really pricey |
| Surgical Steel | Kinda | Cheap, easy to find | Might have a little nickel |
| Gold-Plated | No | Cheap, looks nice at first | Coating wears off, can make skin mad |
Big tip: Gold-plated stuff isn’t hypoallergenic. Only solid gold stays safe and pretty.
Pick brands like GPF that tell you what’s in their alloys. Our customers love us because we’re open about our stuff and give a lifetime guarantee.
Solid gold stays hypoallergenic forever. Gold-plated stuff can wear out and show bad metals. Always check!
