14K GOLD

Metals or alloys such as copper or iron pyrite can be made to look just like real gold. So why pick 14K gold? Gold does not change color, rust, corrode or fade. Gold survives time.
Karat in most English speaking countries spells “carat” but in the U.S. carat is used to measure the weight of gemstones such as 1 carat diamond. The word carat came from ancient times when the seed of the carob plant was used to measure the weight of gemstones. One carob seed weighs about 200 milligrams.

Purity of gold is measured from 1 to 24. 24 karat (24K) is the purest form of the metal. So when you see 18K gold, it means 18/24 karat which is 75% gold and 25% alloy. More alloy, or lower gold content means the 'gold' jewellery is stronger as gold is naturally a soft alloy.

Jewellery with less than 14K is considered costume jewellery. Also you may run into the term 'gold plated' or 'vermeil'. Vermeil jewellery comes in two parts — gold coated on bronze, brass, copper or other alloys. (source : Funchic360)
