14K gold is a choice that many consumers are interested in in the jewelry industry thanks to the optimal combination of economy, durability and luxurious beauty. The following article will help you understand what 14K gold is, its outstanding features, color, advantages and disadvantages, and update the price of 14K gold on the market and how to convert 1 tael of 14K gold.

1. What is 14K gold? Definition and alloy ratio

Before choosing jewelry or investing, it is important to understand the exact nature of 14K gold. This is the basis for evaluating the value and quality of the product.

1.1. Ingredients and proportions

14K gold is a gold alloy made from a combination of pure gold and other metals in an internationally standardized ratio. Specifically, 14K gold includes 58.3% pure gold and 41.7% other metals such as copper, silver, nickel or zinc. This high alloy ratio not only reduces production costs but also creates superior physical properties compared to pure gold.

This blend creates the ideal balance between beauty and practicality. 14K gold still retains its characteristic beautiful golden color, but the color will be slightly lighter than 18K or 24K gold. In return, the hardness and durability of 14K gold are significantly improved, helping jewelry withstand daily impacts with little scratching or deformation. This is the reason why 14K gold has become the top choice for frequently used jewelry such as wedding rings, charm bracelets or pendants.

1.2. Symbols and names

In the international jewelry industry, 14K gold is marked with standardized symbols for easy consumer recognition. The two most common symbols are "14K" and "585", where "585" represents 585 parts per thousand of pure gold (equivalent to 58.5%). These symbols are usually stamped on the surface of the jewelry, in inconspicuous locations such as the inside of a ring, a necklace clasp, or a chain clasp.

In the Vietnamese market, 14K gold is also traditionally called "5.8-year-old gold" or "585 gold" in the jewelry industry. This name comes from the way of converting the gold age on a scale of 10, in which 14K is equivalent to about 5.8 years old.

14k gold is very suitable for use in jewelry such as rings, bracelets, necklaces,...

2. Detailed and comprehensive characteristics of 14K gold

14K gold is not only outstanding for its reasonable price but also possesses many outstanding advantages in jewelry making. Before buying, you should clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages to choose the one that suits your needs and purposes.

2.1. Outstanding advantages

14K gold has many outstanding advantages that make it a popular choice all over the world. Here are the main strengths of this type of gold:

• High durability: The alloy makes 14K gold significantly harder than 18K and 24K gold. Because of the 41.7% other metal content, 14K gold is highly scratch-resistant and resistant to deformation even under heavy impact. This is especially important for everyday jewelry such as wedding rings or bracelets.
• Variety of colors: 14K gold comes in a wide range of colors from traditional yellow gold, luxurious white gold to fashionable rose gold. Thanks to the high alloy content, these colors are very durable and less likely to fade over time than gold of higher purity. This variety makes it easy to choose jewelry that suits your personal style and occasion.
• Reasonable price: With a content of 58.3% pure gold, the price of 14K gold is about 25-30% lower than 18K gold and significantly lower than 24K gold. This affordable price helps many customers, especially young people and those with limited budgets, to access and own quality gold jewelry without having to worry about finances.

2.2. Color classification

14K gold colors are formed from combining pure gold with other metals in different mixing formulas. Each color has its own beauty and is suitable for different styles, from traditional classic to modern fashion.

Yellow Gold is the most traditional form, with a characteristic yellow color but lighter than 24K gold. This type is popular in classic designs and is suitable for people with dark or warm skin. White Gold has a luxurious silvery white color, often plated with rhodium to increase shine and prevent oxidation. However, this plating will wear off over time and needs to be re-plated every 1-2 years to maintain its original beauty.

Rose Gold is a trend loved by young people thanks to its romantic, feminine and modern color. This characteristic pink color comes from adding copper to the alloy, creating a warm color that is easy to coordinate with many types of clothing.

Similar to other types of gold, 14k gold also includes 4 types: Yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and green gold

Special gold colors such as green or blue are often only found in high-end and artistic designs. Due to the complicated manufacturing process and expensive materials, these gold colors are much more expensive than regular colors. This type is not popular in the Vietnamese market, mainly appearing in artistic designs or custom-made.

2.3. Disadvantages and notes

Besides the outstanding advantages, 14K gold also has some limitations that buyers need to consider carefully before making a decision. Here are the main disadvantages:

• Skin irritation: Some 14K gold alloys may contain nickel, a metal that can cause skin allergies, especially in people with sensitive skin (Not all 14K gold contains nickel, depending on the manufacturer). Common symptoms include itching, redness, rashes, or hives at the site of contact with the jewelry. This problem is most common with 14K white gold because nickel is used to create the white color.
• Lower value than high grade gold: Because the pure gold content is only 58.3%, 14K gold has a much lower value than 18K gold (75%) and 24K gold (99.9%). When reselling, you will get a significantly lower recovery price, especially when compared to SJC gold bars or 24K plain gold rings. Therefore, if your main purpose is to accumulate and invest for the long term, 14K gold is not the optimal choice.
• Lighter colors: 14K gold is significantly lighter in color than 18K and 24K gold due to the lower percentage of pure gold. This may not be to the liking of those who prefer a traditional deep gold color or who want their jewelry to look more “luxurious” and “valuable.” This color difference will be very obvious if you compare 14K gold side by side with 24K gold.
• Regular maintenance: For 14K white gold, the outer rhodium plating will gradually wear off over time, causing the surface to turn pale yellow or slightly gray. To maintain the shine and characteristic white color, you need to re-plat the jewelry every 1-2 years. The cost of re-plating is not high, but this is still a cost and maintenance effort you need to consider.
