Nope. If a pair of earrings sticks to a magnet, they’re not solid gold—simple as that. Gold is a non-magnetic metal, and at Enea, we work exclusively with real, solid 14k gold that will never pull toward a magnet. It’s an easy way to tell if you’re getting the real thing.

Here’s the trick: Look for the stamp—you should see “14k” or “585” engraved somewhere on the piece. That’s the hallmark of authenticity. Real gold also doesn’t tarnish or leave green marks on your skin (if it does, it's not solid gold). Every pair of earrings we craft is made with genuine 14k gold, no shortcuts.

It’s all about what lasts period. Plated jewelry wears down, fades, and eventually disappears quickly—what’s left? A base metal that’s not even worth keeping. Solid gold earrings, on the other hand, with minimum care last forever. They hold and increase their value, look better with time, and don’t need replacing. That’s why real gold costs more upfront but pays off in the long run.

You can think of it like this: 14k solid gold is the perfect mix of durability and richness. It has enough pure gold to glow beautifully but is strong enough for everyday wear. On the other hand, 18k gold? It’s 25% softer and a little deeper in color. If you want earrings that you never have to take off, 14k is the way to go. That’s why we choose it for every pair we make.
