Jewellery Myths Busted — 7 Things People Still Get Wrong About Gold & Diamonds
Buying jewellery can feel confusing with so many myths floating around. At Caratly, we believe smart buyers make the best style choices. So let’s clear up some common misconceptions about gold and diamonds.
1. Higher Carat Gold Is Always Better:
While 24K gold is pure, it’s also soft and scratches easily. That’s why 18K and 14K gold are better for everyday jewellery; they're durable and still luxurious.

2. Bigger Diamonds Are Better:
Size isn’t everything. A smaller diamond with an excellent cut can shine brighter than a larger one with poor quality. Grades like VS and VVS indicate higher clarity and quality, so consider more than just carat size.
