14L'or K présente plusieurs avantages. D'abord, c'est abordable. Parce que l'or pur constitue 58.3% de la teneur en métal de l'or 14 carats, une bague de fiançailles en or 14 carats coûtera généralement un peu moins cher que la même bague en or 18 carats.
Deuxième, 14L’or K est assez durable. L'or est assez doux, malleable metal that scratches, bends and warps easily. This means that the purer a gold engagement ring is, the easier it becomes to scratch it on door frames, desks, tables, the ground and other surfaces.
While 14K gold isn’t as durable as platinum or palladium, it’s more than durable enough for the average person. It’s also significantly more durable than 18K gold, making it the better choice if your fiancé-to-be has an active lifestyle or works with her hands.
Troisième, while 14K gold isn’t as pure as 18K gold, its relatively high pure gold content means that it retains the warmth and rich color that people associate with gold. Although it can look slightly dull when compared side-by-side with 18K gold, 14K gold looks stunning on its own.
Enfin, 14K gold is ubiquitous and widely available in the world of engagement rings. It’s by far the most popular type of gold for engagement rings, en comptabilité d'environ 90% of all rings sold in the US, UK and other Western countries. This makes it an easy option to find.
