14K quick answer

The 14K gold price per gram is the live pure-gold gram price multiplied by about 0.583.
14K is one of the most common jewelry purities in the United States, so this page targets 14K gold price per gram, 14KT value, 585 gold price, and 14K pawn shop searches together.
A 14K item can be stamped 14K, 14KT, 585, or sometimes 583. The stamp is a starting point, but buyer testing can still change the payout if the piece is repaired, worn, mixed, or plated.
Purity 58.3% 14 divided by 24 gives the standard estimate.
Common marks 14K / 585 14KT and 583 marks are also seen.
Typical use US jewelry Chains, rings, bracelets, earrings, and scrap lots.
Offer check 14K melt Compare quotes with 14K value, not 24K spot.
Search intent What people mean by 14K gold price per gram
Most 14K searches are not asking for the global spot price. They are asking for a jewelry number they can multiply by a ring, chain, bracelet, or scrap lot weight. The page therefore has to show 14K per gram value, not only a general gold calculator result.
The search also has a strong pawn shop angle. Someone looking up 14K gold price per gram at pawn shop usually wants to compare a local cash quote with the live 14K melt value, then understand how much of that value the shop is offering.
Checklist 14K marks and quote checks
- Treat 14K, 14KT, 585, and 583 as the same purity family for a first estimate.
- Compare a buyer quote with the 14K melt value per gram, not the 24K pure gold row.
- Ask whether the buyer weighed in grams, pennyweight, standard ounces, or troy ounces.
- Deduct stones, watch parts, or non-gold inserts before treating the full gross weight as 14K gold.
Example 14K per gram example
If pure gold is worth $135 per gram, 14K melt value is about $78.75 per gram before buyer payout. A 20 gram solid 14K chain would have a melt value near $1,575 in that simple example.
A pawn shop offer of $1,000 on that same chain would be about 63 percent of melt value. That percentage is the useful comparison because a different spot price would change both the melt value and the fair offer range.
