14 parts out of a total of 24 parts. 24 carat gold is pure gold, so 14 carat is 58.3% gold (the balance is generally silver). But that is a measure of the gold parts-per-thousand, or 583 parts-per-thousand in 14 k gold, not a measure by weight. Because gold is much heavier than the medals added to make the alloy, the percentage of the gold content by weight may be in the 70% to 80% range depending on the mix of copper, silver, and other metals.

How much does a gold wedding ring weigh?

Weigh the ring. If it is 24 carat gold then the ring is pure gold and all of the weight is gold If it is 22 carat gold then the ring is 22/24 gold and the weight of gold will be reduced by 1/12 Any other degree of pureness can be calculated similarly.... 18 carat gold is 75% gold, 12 carat is 50% gold and so on.


What is the difference between a 9 carat ring and an 18 carat ring?

there are 24 parts that make up pure gold. so 9 carats is 9 parts gold and 15 parts of another material so 9 parts gold to 24 parts is 37.5% gold. were 18 carat is 18 parts gold to 24 parts of another material or 75% gold. thus the difference is in the amount of gold in the ring. there is also a difference in the color of the gold pieces. the 9 carat gold is lighter than the 18 carat.

How much is a 40 carat gold ring worth?

I could be wrong but i thought that a 24k gold ring was as pure as they got. If this is the case, 40k is impossible (well over 100% gold). It would have to also go by pure gold weight if this is the case.

How much is a 10 carat gold ring worth?

10 carat only tells you the quality of the gold, not the quantity involved. Pure gold is 24 carat - and is too soft for use as jewellery, so other metals are added to strengthen it. Each 1 carat drop from 24 means that a little over 4% other metal has been used. So 10 carat gold is 41.6% gold and 58.4% other metal. The value of the ring will lie either in the overall weight of it, or in the quality of the workmanship displayed in creating it. Never exepct a second-hand ring to sell for as much as a new ring of the same style in the jeweller's window.
