14 karat gold and 18 karat gold are types of gold alloys that are commonly used in jewelry. The term “karat” (“K”) is used to measure the purity of gold. Both 14K and 18K gold have their advantages and are commonly used in jewelry making. The choice between them often depends on personal preferences, budget, and the desired characteristics of the jewelry piece, such as color, durability and value.
14K gold is an alloy composed of 58,3% pure gold. The additional metals are mixed with the gold to improve its durability and strength.
18K gold is an alloy that contains 75% pure gold. The higher gold content gives 18 karat gold a richer yellow color and a higher value compared to 14 karat gold.
