But where will your brother and sister get THEIR rings? You need additional gold- and that comes from mining.

NR14K on jewelry indicates that the piece is made of 14-karat gold that has been specifically marked as "NR," which often stands for "Not Recycled." This means the gold used in the jewelry was sourced from new materials rather than recycled gold. The "14K" designation signifies that the alloy contains 58.3% pure gold, with the remaining percentage made up of other metals for durability and strength.
