1 Answer
What is the difference between 14k gold and 14k Italian gold?
The difference between 14K gold and 14K Italian gold is the place of production. Both types of jewelry feature 14-karat gold, an alloy that is 58.3% gold and 41.7% alloy metals. However, Italian gold pieces come specifically from artisans, workshops and factories located in Italy. You can find 14-karat gold made in many other countries.
