Wedding rings forged in 14 carat gold stand for a harmonious union of beauty and lasting durability, perfect for both minimalist elegance and sparkling diamond splendor. But what does carat really mean and how much does a wedding ring in 14 carat gold cost? We guide you and help you find your dream choice among our 14 carat wedding rings.
What does carat mean?
Because gold is so soft, it must always be alloyed (mixed) with other metals in order to be processed. The content of fine gold is stated as 24 carats (24 K). This measurement is called fine gold and can also be stated in thousandths.
24 carat (24 K) 1000/1000,
18 carats (18K) 750/1000
14 carats (14 K) 585/1000
Karat is a unit of measurement that describes the purity of gold. The purity of 14 carat gold means that 58.5% of the metal is pure gold, while the rest consists of other metals that strengthen the ring and create color.

When you choose a ring with 14 carat gold, in other words, you choose a ring where more than half is pure fine gold. This precious metal is carefully blended to create a ring that not only has a beautiful shine, but is also durable and built to last a lifetime.
Red gold, white gold and rose gold with 14 carats
When choosing the color of your wedding ring, it is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also of finding what best reflects your personal style. At Schalins, you can choose rings in red gold, white gold and rose gold with 14 carats.
Red gold with 14 carats
14 carat red gold is a timeless classic that breathes warmth and tradition. Its rich, deep tone comes from an alloy of gold with copper, giving it a distinctive and eye-catching color. Red gold is an excellent choice for those looking for a wedding ring that is both elegant and has a sense of robustness.
White gold with 14 carats
14 carat white gold has a clean and modern feel, with its soft and sophisticated radiance. The alloy is usually a mixture of gold with palladium or nickel and covered with a layer of rhodium for extra shine and durability. It is the perfect choice for those who prefer a more contemporary expression.
Rose gold with 14 carats
Rose gold has become increasingly popular in recent years and it is not difficult to understand why. With its unique blend of gold and a slightly higher percentage of copper than red gold, rose gold offers a subtle, soft pink hue that evokes romance and exudes class.
Is 14 karat gold durable?
14 carat gold is both beautiful and durable. Thanks to the alloy, it is more resistant to damage and scratches than rings with higher carats, making it an ideal choice for wedding rings to be worn every day.
