Difference Between 24k, 18k and 14k Gold

 Jewelry preferences vary from person to person, but often men tend to favor chunky jewelry, such as large or heavy gold bracelets for men. These can be about 17 to 19 grams in the shape of a band or thick cable link chain. Any thick link wristbands and large gold bracelets for men provide a smooth surface for engraving.

 Since they are heavier and include more gold and alloys (other metals), thicker or larger men's bracelets are usually more costly. However, typically, the price would be dictated by the purity of the gold material. Compared to an 18k piece with 75 percent pure gold, or a 24k object with 100 percent gold, a piece of 14k jewelry would produce only 58.3 percent pure gold.

 I shouldn't generalize, but in jewelry, males are usually rougher than ladies. This is particularly true if the person does a lot of physical labor, perhaps on a building site, or perhaps in a studio. Catching bracelets or necklaces on something is simple, and you can either injure yourself or destroy the jewelry.

One choice is not to wear jewelry, particularly when dealing with machinery. Buying thicker links, or strong gold bracelets for men, is the other choice. Be mindful, however, that if it fails to crack when trapped in equipment, this may pose more of a risk.

Then pick a lower karat rating if you want to buy stronger, more robust jewels. This is because pure 24k gold is fairly soft and worthy of branding. To make it better (and cheaper), a 14k bracelet will have more alloys blended with gold.

It is important, notwithstanding what I have said, not to be put off buying gold jewelry. After all, for thousands of years, the metal's worth has stood the test of time. It is a highly stable metal that is unable to rust or rot. Being delicate, it is simple for a jeweller to deal with some incredible pieces and build them. For the same purpose, to have some additional resistance, it is often safer to purchase gold jewelry containing other alloys.

In brief, 24k of gold is pure and soft, 18k is only fairly pure for 18 parts of gold for 6 parts of other alloys, 14k is less pure for only 14 parts of gold, and 12k for only 12 parts of gold. The rating of the karat ranges from 1k to 24k.
