Understanding 14ct Gold
What Does 14ct Gold Mean?
14ct gold, bearing the hallmark 585, contains 58.5% pure gold (585 parts per thousand). The remaining 41.5% consists of alloy metals such as silver, copper, zinc, and sometimes palladium or nickel (for white gold variants). The "585" stamp is the international standard marking, while "14K" is the equivalent American hallmark -- both indicate the same purity.
14ct Gold in the UK Context
While 14ct gold is less commonly sold by UK jewellers (where 9ct and 18ct are the traditional standards), it is frequently encountered when people inherit or purchase jewellery from abroad. The United States, Germany, Italy, Greece, and many other European countries use 14ct as their primary gold standard. If you have jewellery from these regions, it is very likely to be 14ct/585. All reputable UK gold dealers recognise and buy 14ct gold at current market rates.
A Balanced Choice
14ct gold offers an excellent balance between durability and gold content. It is more hard-wearing than 18ct or 22ct gold thanks to its higher alloy content, while still containing significantly more pure gold than 9ct (58.5% vs 37.5%). This makes it a practical middle ground for jewellery that is worn frequently but still needs to retain a rich, warm gold colour.
How 14ct Gold Price Is Calculated
14ct Gold Price = Gold Spot Price per Gram x 0.585
Current calculation: £116.66 x 0.585 = £68.32 per gram
The price of 14ct gold is derived from the global gold spot price, which is quoted for pure (24ct/999) gold. Since 14ct gold contains 58.5% pure gold, the spot price per gram is multiplied by 0.585 to arrive at the 14ct gold value per gram.
The gold spot price is set on international commodities markets and fluctuates throughout the trading day. Key factors that influence the price include supply and demand, the GBP/USD exchange rate, geopolitical events, inflation expectations, and central bank monetary policy.
When selling 14ct scrap gold in the UK, dealers typically pay between 85% and 95% of the calculated gold value. This margin covers refining costs, overheads, and the dealer's profit. The percentage you receive depends on several factors:
- -Quantity: Selling larger amounts of 14ct gold typically attracts higher percentages
- -Hallmarks: Clearly hallmarked 585 or 14K items may fetch better rates as they require less testing
- -Dealer type: Online dealers often pay higher percentages than high street shops due to lower overheads
- -Market conditions: In a rising market, dealers may offer more competitive rates to acquire stock
For example, at the current 14ct gold price of £68.32 per gram, a dealer paying 90% would offer approximately £61.49 per gram for your 14ct scrap gold.
14ct Gold vs Other Purities
How does 14ct gold compare to the purities commonly found in the UK market?
14ct gold contains significantly more pure gold than 9ct gold (58.5% vs 37.5%), resulting in a richer yellow colour and better tarnish resistance. At £68.32 per gram compared to £43.79, 14ct costs more but offers a noticeable upgrade in appearance and value retention. Both purities are durable enough for everyday wear.
18ct gold has a higher gold content (75% vs 58.5%) and a deeper yellow hue, priced at £87.59 per gram versus £68.32 for 14ct. However, 14ct gold is more scratch-resistant and durable due to its higher alloy content, making it a practical choice for rings and bracelets that receive heavy daily wear.
