How much 14K gold will a 1/4 ounce of 24K gold yield?
I am going to have a jeweller custom make a 14k gold signet ring for me
soon. The gold he'll be using will be supplied by me in the form of either one or two 1/4 oz., 24 karat solid gold Kuggerand coins. Of course what he'll do is make a wax model, weight it, and then tell me how much 24 K gold he's going to need for the ring, taking into account that he'll be adding metals to it to bring it down to 14 karats. What I need to know, to make sure I'm not getting ripped off, is how many ounces (or grams or pennyweight) of 14 K gold will a 24 K ounce of gold yield? In other words, if he hypothetically says the ring will weigh 1/8 ounce at 14 K, then how much 24 K gold will he need to make the ring? Can it be stated that 1 ounce of 24 K gold will yield X ounces of 14 K gold? While I do my best to deal with my IP's newsgroup service, on occasion I do not get to check the groups to see replies to my postings for the mere nanosecond they're actually left up on the server. So please also send an e mail copy of your answer to me at . Remove the X's before sending. Thanks much, Jeff |
