14ct is a US standard of fineness, and is more readily available there than in the UK. To see if your ring is 14ct/14k there will be a hallmark bearing the number 585 on the inside (shank) of the ring, however, it may say 14k, depending on the standards of hallmarking in US. Usually it should say 585.

If your ring does not bear this number, then it most likely is not gold.

If it bears other numbers, however, you can find out its internationally recognised fineness for gold below:

375 = 9ct/K (Standard minimum in UK)
417 = 10ct/K (Standard minimum in US)
585 = 14ct/K (Standard US)
750 = 18ct/K (Standard)
916 = 22ct/K
999 = 24ct/K (Minimum for Pure gold)

If its a white metal, it could be Silver or Platinum. There are varied fineness' available but the ones used in jewellery more often than not are;

925 = Sterling Silver
950 = Platinum

White gold would be the same as the generic gold chart.
