14k Gold in US-Imported Jewellery
14 carat (585) gold is the most common jewellery purity in the United States, much as 9ct is in the UK — durable, more affordable than 18k, and widely used for chains, rings and watches. If you've bought jewellery in the US or received a piece from an American retailer, it's very likely stamped 14K or 585 rather than a UK carat mark, so use this page rather than the 9ct or 18k pages for an accurate valuation.
