What does 14KGP mean on a gold ring?

Answer 1

14 k = how good the gold is - 10k not as pure - 24k Best there is.

K = karat. (for diamonds it's spelled carat)

GP = gold plated - Gold coating on outside of another metal - (like painting a bottle cap with gold)

hope that helps ya.

Answer 2

The term 14KP stands for "karat plumb" gold---meaning exactly 14K....no more, no less.

KP does NOT mean plated. It is solid 14K gold.

Karat weights are usually determined with a small, fractional variance allowed by law. Karat gold which has NO fractional variance at all is called "plumb" gold -- typically identified with a "KP" hallmark.

14K P means Plumb Gold not Plate Gold.

"PLUMB GOLD A term used to describe gold jewelry that contains the precise amount of gold in the alloy that the Karat mark indicates. In the past an item marked 14Kt could legally have been 13.5 karat and still considered 14K. Today an item marked 14k must be at least 14 of 24 parts fine gold and is considered plumb gold. In some instances manufacturers have marked their jewelry 14KP meaning plumb, but inadvertently have confused the public that believed the 14KP mark meant gold plated. "

Answer 3

Doesn't work like that.

Gold is VERY soft. To make useful rings out of it - and to save money - the gold is mixed out with other metals, which makes it stronger. And cheaper.

14kt tells you how big part of the mixture that is gold. 14 parts out of 24 in this case.

To know how much that is in grams you'd need to knwo the weight of the ring.

Answer 4

14KGP stands for 14 karat gold plated. This means that the ring is made from a base metal and has a layer of 14 karat gold bonded to its surface through a plating process.
