14K gold tem várias vantagens. Primeiro, é acessível. Porque o ouro puro compõe 58.3% do conteúdo metálico do ouro 14K, um anel de noivado feito de ouro 14K geralmente custará um pouco menos do que o mesmo anel feito de ouro 18K.
Segundo, 14O ouro K é bastante durável. O ouro é bastante macio, 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.
Third, 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.
Finalmente, 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, representando cerca de 90% of all rings sold in the US, UK and other Western countries. This makes it an easy option to find.
