What Is 14K Gold?
14K gold contains 58.33% pure gold (14 parts gold out of 24). It's the most common karat in US, Canadian, and Middle Eastern jewelry, stamped with the hallmarks 585, 14K, 14KT, or 14ct. The remaining 41.67% is typically copper, silver, zinc, or palladium — alloys that increase durability and alter color (yellow, white, or rose).
Because 14K contains more alloy than 18K or 22K gold, it's harder, more scratch-resistant, and less expensive per gram while still retaining significant gold value. This makes it ideal for everyday jewelry like rings, bracelets, and necklaces.
