Gold price · 14K
The 14K gold wholesale price.
The counter default.
14K is 58.3% fine gold — the alloy most North American fine jewelry is actually made of. It balances color, durability, and cost well enough that for most independent retailers it is the default stocking decision, not a choice.

For the Counter
What retailers should know.
What most of the case should be
Engagement, fashion, chains, earrings — 14K covers the widest band of North American retail demand. If you stock one karat deep, this is the one.
The margin sweet spot
14K carries enough gold to feel and price like fine jewelry, while its per-gram cost leaves room between wholesale and the ticket your customer expects to see.
Reads as fine jewelry
58.3% purity holds a warm color that customers recognize as real gold, and it takes pavé and stone setting well — most of Clazoire's catalog ships in 14K for exactly that reason.
These figures are the value of the fine gold in the alloy — not a quote. A finished piece adds stones, labour, and finishing, and your price is set when you open an account and quote real pieces.
The Specifics · 14K
14K gold, answered straight.
What is the wholesale price of 14k gold per gram?
As of August 15, 2026, the gold-content value of 14K is $82.05 USD per gram — the Kitco gold ask of $4377.60/ozt converted at 58.3% purity over the exact troy ounce of 31.1034768 g. This is the value of the metal itself, not a quote for finished jewelry.
How is the 14k per-gram price calculated?
Spot per troy ounce ÷ 31.1034768 g × 0.5830 purity. It is the same conversion Clazoire's quote engine uses, published with the capture date (August 15, 2026) so the number is verifiable — and it is not a quote: finished pieces add stones, labour, and finishing.
Is 14k gold worth stocking for a small retailer?
For most North American counters, 14K is not one option among several — it is the default. It carries the widest band of demand at a per-gram cost that leaves honest retail margin.
How often do these numbers update?
The published rate refreshes every 24 hours from the Kitco gold ask, and every figure on this page carries its capture date (currently August 15, 2026). If a rate fetch ever fails, we show the last verified rate with its own older date — never an undated number.
