Does 14k gold have nickel in it?

does 14k gold have nickel in it?

Answer #1

Depends on the desired color - the term ‘balancing of alloying metal’ is used - specifically, it didn’t say whether nickel is a component or not.

Jewellery in caratages lower than 24 ct, apart from price, is the wide range of colour that can be achieved, from socalled green, pale yellow, yellow, rose/pink to red as well as white, depending on the balance of other alloying metals used.

U.S. 14 carat breakdown: Fineness: 583 % Gold content: 58.3 %

Hope this helps !!

Answer #2

The 14k refers to the amount of gold, not what other metals are alloyed with it.

There are different kinds of 14k gold. In general 14k yellow gold does not have nickel in it though 14k white gold may. The trend in the jewlery industry has been to avoid nickel since some wearers react to nickel.
