Gold purity in jewelry is represented by how much -- on a scale of 24K being pure gold -- of the metal is gold.
A 10K gold 'batch' will always be a 10K gold batch -- only 10/24ths of the batch is gold, whether solid or melted. And the same is true of a 14K gold 'batch'.
In order to 'upgrade' 10K yellow gold metal to 14K yellow gold metal, the 10K metal must be melted, separated from whatever other metal is in the 'batch', then added to less other metal in order for the same gold to be 'upgraded' to 14K.
Another option is to replace the 10K setting with a 14K setting.
