14K Or 18K Gold – Which Should I Choose For My Wedding Band?

Rings Jewelry report By Claire Simon

18k gold wedding bands

24K is 100% pure gold. While pure gold is a very strong metal, it is also the most malleable. In order to be able to use it for jewelry applications, manufacturers mix gold with other metals to harden it. The difference between 14K and 18K is the amount of pure gold vs. the amount of other metals used:

24K = 100% Gold
18K = 75% Gold and 25% other metal
14K = 58.3% Gold and 41.67% other metal

Should I choose 14K or 18K gold for my wedding band? Below are the differences to help make your decision:

1. Scratch Resistance: The ‘other metals’ are harder than gold. So because 14K has a larger percentage of other metals than 18K, the 14K ring will be slightly harder and more scratch resistant than the 18K ring.

2. Allergic Reactions: Some people are allergic to the metals alloyed with gold. If this is the case, we recommend using Platinum as your wedding band metal, as it is hypo-allergenic. White gold should be your next option as the ring is likely to be plated with Rhodium, a hypo-allergenic metal. Yellow gold should be your last option if you are allergic to the metal alloys, as there is no barrier between the metals and your skin.
