The difference between 14K and 22K gold

What does 14 carat gold mean?

14 carat gold contains 58.5 percent pure gold. The other metals in the alloy add strength, which is why it is often chosen for rings, bracelets and jewellery worn every day.

Why does 22 carat gold look warmer?

22 carat gold contains 91.6 percent pure gold. It has a deeper gold colour and a softer structure, and comes into its own in traditional jewellery and pieces for special occasions.

Which suits you better?

For active daily wear and more resistance to scratching, 14 carat is the natural choice; if pure gold content and a classic look matter more, consider 22 carat. Weigh the shape of the piece and how often you will wear it alongside this.
