14 karat gold expresses the level of purity of gold, since gold is alloyed with other metals. Regarding gold karats in general, the higher the level of purity, the higher the karat number and the more yellowish glow the metal will emit. Whereas, the lower the level of gold purity, the more silvery glow the metal will have. Therefore, 14 kt gold is known as a very durable and affordable type of gold.

14 carats means 14 24ths of it is gold, the rest is other metals. The colour of the gold depends on what other metals are added with it, so you can have white gold, yellow gold or pink gold. Gold usually comes in 9, 14, 18, 22 or 24 carats.
