Why 14K Gold Is the US Standard?

Walk into any American jewelry store and most rings, chains, and earrings are 14K. The price of 14K gold per gram hits the right balance between affordability and real gold content. 14K is 58.5% pure gold mixed with copper, silver, and zinc — that alloy makes it significantly harder than 18K or 24K and better suited for daily wear.

The FTC officially recognizes 14K as a standard gold purity for jewelry sold in the United States. If you see “14K” or “585” stamped on a piece, you know exactly what you have.

How Is the 14K Gold Price Calculated?

Formula: 14K price per gram = (Spot price per troy oz ÷ 31.1035) × 0.585

At a spot price of $4,350/oz: ($4,350 ÷ 31.1035) × 0.585 = $81.82 per gram. The live widget at the top of this page runs this calculation automatically and updates three times a day from COMEX market data.
