Is this ring solid gold or plated?

It is solid 14k yellow gold, so the color runs through the metal rather than sitting in a plating that can wear off.

How does a flat band feel compared with a rounded one?

The outside is flat and the inside is usually flat too, so it can feel boxier on the finger than a comfort-fit domed band. Many people notice it most when making a fist.

Can I wear it every day, including in water?

Yes. Solid 14k gold does not tarnish or rust, so handwashing and showers are fine. Remove it for chlorine pools, harsh cleaners and heavy lifting to limit scratches and dents.

A plain 14k gold band can usually be resized by a jeweler, though a flat profile can show a slight seam after sizing. Ask about sizing before you buy if you are between sizes.

Does it work as a wedding band?

Yes. The plain flat profile is a common choice for a simple wedding band, and it stacks well with an engagement ring.

Will the gold scratch?

14k gold is an alloy and softer than 18k or platinum, so fine scratches and a duller finish appear with daily wear. A jeweler can polish it back to a bright finish.
