What does 14K P mean on gold ring?

Best Answer
The term 14KP stands for "karat plumb" gold---meaning exactly 14K....no more, no less.
KP does NOT, I repeat does NOT mean plated. It is solid 14K gold.

Karat weights are usually determined with a small, fractional variance allowed by law. Karat gold which has NO fractional variance at all is called "plumb" gold -- typically identified with a "KP" hallmark.


14K P means Plumb Gold not Plate Gold.


"PLUMB GOLD A term used to describe gold jewelry that contains the precise amount of gold in the alloy that the Karat mark indicates. In the past an item marked 14Kt could legally have been 13.5 karat and still considered 14K. Today an item marked 14k must be at least 14 of 24 parts fine gold and is considered plumb gold. In some instances manufacturers have marked their jewelry 14KP meaning plumb, but inadvertently have confused the public that believed the 14KP mark meant gold plated. "

As a measure of purity, one carat is \tfrac{1}{24} purity by mass:


X is the carat rating of the material,
Mg is the mass of pure gold or platinum in the material, and
Mm is the total mass of the material.

Therefore 24-carat gold is fine (99.9% Au w/w), 18-carat gold is 75% gold, 12-carat gold is 50% gold, and so forth.

Historically, in England the carat was divisible into four grains, and the grain was divisible into four quarts. For example, a gold alloy of \tfrac{381}{384} fineness (that is, 99.2% purity) could have been described as being 23-carat, 3-grain, 1-quart gold.

The carat system is increasingly being complemented or superseded by the millesimal fineness system in which the purity of precious metals is denoted by parts per thousand of pure metal in the alloy.

The most common carats used for gold in bullion, jewelry making and by goldsmiths are:

24 carat (millesimal fineness 999 or higher)
22 carat (millesimal fineness 916)
21 carat (millesimal fineness 875)
20 carat (millesimal fineness 833)
18 carat (millesimal fineness 750)
15 carat (millesimal fineness 625)
14 carat (millesimal fineness 585)
10 carat (millesimal fineness 417)
9 carat (millesimal fineness 375)
8 carat (millesimal fineness 333)
1 carat (millesimal fineness 042)
 
Of all the precious metals, gold is the most popular as an investment.[1] Investors generally buy gold as a hedge or safe haven against any economic, political, social, or fiat currency crises (including investment market declines, burgeoning national debt, currency failure, inflation, war and social unrest). The gold market is also subject to speculation as other commodities are, especially through the use of futures contracts and derivatives. The history of the gold standard, the role of gold reserves in central banking, gold's low correlation with other commodity prices, and its pricing in relation to fiat currencies during the financial crisis of 2007–2010, suggest that gold has features of being money.[2][3]
 
Hard Asset Investor: In your most recent report on Gold Demand Trends, the World Gold Council identifies two key drivers of the gold market in 2010: higher Gold Investment demand out of the US and Europe, and higher jewelry demand out of India and China. Which of these two factors is the stronger influence on today's market?

Jason Toussaint: If we look at historical figures, we see that jewelry consumption leads all sectors, in terms of tonnage of demand. That will continue going forward, and jewelry would have the higher impact.

That said, it might be worth noting that when we speak about the jewelry market in the non-US or the non-Western markets, the differentiation between a jewelry purchase for adornment and for investment is very great. It's very difficult to say that someone in the Indian gold market who's purchased gold jewelry is doing so exclusively for the jewelry aspect and not for investment, because there's a very liquid two-way market in that around the world.

The bottom line is, and the common thread here is, gold is seen as a long-term store of wealth, which is keenly important in today's markets.
