If you want to know more about 14k gold, you can find some quick tips I’ve written below that tells about the basics of gold measurement and white gold.

Gold measurement quick tips

  • Karat: Gold is measured in karat. It is interesting to know that “karat” and “carat” are two completely different measurements. “Karat” is used to measure the purity of gold, whereas “carat” is used to measure the weight of precious gemstones, such as diamond.
  • How to calculate: Pure gold is marked as 24 karat. Since pure gold is not an ideal material for jewelry, it is often mixed with other metals such as copper, to get a metal alloy that is strong enough to hold gemstones in jewelry. Gold less than 24 karat refers to the ratio of gold found in the metal alloy. The precise calculation is like this, the karat of gold divided by 24 equals the percentage of gold in a piece. For example 14 karat gold is 14/24, or 58% gold, meaning the piece contains 58% of pure gold. In the U.S. 10 karat is the minimum requirement for any piece to be called “gold”. However, this is a legal requirement that varies among different countries.
  • Earrings made from gold should be stamped with the gold karat mark, manufacturer's trademark or country of origin, so after you received ordered14k gold dangle earrings, make sure to check these marks, as it will guarantee you the items you bought are exactly what’s stated on the website.

White gold quick tips

  • White gold and platinum: Some people may wonder what the differences are between white gold and platinum, since their appearances look the same. The answer is, white gold and platinum are two different metals, and the latter is more precious than the former. For white gold, it is to be noted that, actually there is no such metal called “white gold”, white gold is a metal alloy containing gold and other white metals such as silver and palladium.
  • White gold measurement: The purity of white gold is measured in karat too. And the calculation is exactly the same as for yellow gold. For example, 14 karat white gold is made of 58% gold mixed with 25% other metals such as silver and palladium.
  • White gold and yellow gold: So they are both metal alloys made of gold, their measurement are completely the same, the only difference is the other metals used to make the alloy, and that’s why white gold are always more expensive than yellow gold.
