What 14K gold is
Karat measures purity out of 24: 14K gold is 14 parts gold to 10 parts other metals, such as silver, copper and zinc, which make it harder and change its color. 14K is the most popular gold for jewelry in the US: hard enough for everyday rings and chains, with a rich color.
How the 14K price is worked out
Spot gold is quoted per troy ounce of pure gold (31.1 grams). 14K per gram = spot ÷ 31.1035 × 14/24. At $4,024.03 an ounce that’s $75.47 a gram. It moves with spot gold, which is driven by interest rates, the dollar and fear: see why gold goes up.
Getting the best price when you sell
- Weigh it in grams and check the stamp before you ask for offers.
- Get quotes from two or three buyers, per gram, not a lump sum.
- Sort pieces by karat, so 14K isn’t priced at a lower karat.
