When news broke that Travis Kelce proposed to Taylor Swift, fans everywhere immediately wanted to know the details of the ring. While the love story steals the spotlight, the choice of 18K gold is just as meaningful.
18K gold has long been the standard for fine jewellery, offering a balance of beauty and durability. With 75% pure gold, it carries a richness and warmth that sets it apart. The higher gold content gives it that unmistakable glow people associate with luxury, while still being strong enough to be worn and cherished every day.
What makes 18K special is that it feels both timeless and personal. Unlike gold-plated or vermeil jewellery, which can fade over time, 18K is solid through and through. It’s a material designed not just to sparkle in a single moment, but to hold its shine for a lifetime.
At VELA Jewels Co., we choose 18K gold for the very same reason. Every piece we create is meant to become part of someone’s story, just like an engagement ring that marks the beginning of a new chapter. When you choose 18K gold, you’re choosing more than a metal. You’re choosing permanence, value, and a beauty that only grows with time. It’s why we say our jewellery is made for every chapter of life.
