How much gold contain in 14K gold ring? To know how much gold contain in 14K (or 14kt or 14ct or 585) gold ring, you can use math… No No No don’t run away, it’s simple, I promise! Here is the formula: Pure gold or 100% gold is 24 carat (24K). 14K gold is a mixture of 14 parts of gold and 10 parts of other materials /alloys by weight (14+10=24). If we convert it to percentage: 14K gold ring = (14K/24K) x 100% = 58,333333333333333…..ZZZZzzzz % Gold or 58,5 % Gold for short (the rest 41,5 % is other materials) While 18K gold ring = (18K/24K) x 100% = 75 % Gold (the rest 25 % is other materials) And 9K gold ring = … (it’s your home work <img src="http://diamondsrings99.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> ) So if you find ring or <a href="http://diamondsrings99.com/jewelry-diamond-ring" title="Jewelry Diamond Ring">jewelry</a> with 585 mark, it’s mean that ring contain 58,5% of gold.

In order to make the gold ring is possible to wear everyday with constant wear and tear, it must be mixed with other materials or metal that is harder than gold. That means 14K gold ring is harder than 18K gold ring, because the percentage of harder material (i.e. other materials) that 14K gold ring contain is bigger than 18K gold ring. What is the different of yellow gold, white gold and rose gold? The difference is the material that used to mix with gold. This material will determine the final color of gold ring. But if we talk about gold contain, whether 14K yellow gold ring or 14K <a href="http://diamondsrings99.com/white-gold-ring" title="White Gold Ring">white gold ring</a> or 14K rose gold ring will contain same amount of gold, which is 58,5 % of gold.
