18K Mens Gold Ring
What would be the value of these items?
A Used 14k Gold Necklace Approx 19.5″
Used 18k Gold Ring w/o Stones Mens Size 10
Used Women’s 14k Gold Ring size 9
Used Womens 14k Gold Ring Size 5
Ok these are just names, but none of them are fancy and none of them have stones or anything. Could someone estimate the value of all of these combined? Thanks!
haha no. I did not steal them.
hold on to them.
even if they are stolen…
the dollar is not reliable but gold is, and its price is gonna keep getting higher.
14 and 18k is a relatively low alloy of gold but it will still be worth quite a bit.

Wedding Jewelry Options For Men
If the watchword for women’s jewelry is ‘glamour’, the keyword for men’s jewelry has to be ‘understated elegance’. Though with the equalization of the sexes, flashy stuff for men also is in, weddings are one such event where elegance still rules over flashy designs. So, most of the options in wedding jewelry have to be elegant, and sophisticated at the same time. Here are some of the top options in the category.
Men’s diamond bands
Some of the most popular options for wedding jewelry for men are the men’s diamond band collection. Since rings don’t augment well on mens fingers, the next best alternative is a band. There are two major kinds of bands – diamond bands and the standard wedding bands (which we will talk about later).
In the diamond bands category, some of the most popular options are the ones in white. In some countries like India and the Middle East, yellow gold is more popular as a jewelry metal, but here in the United States, it is the white metals that are the ones to go with – especially for men. Unlike with women’s rings, diamond studded rings do not mean rings that are studded with diamonds all around. The most popular designs in mens wedding collections are the ones with a single studded stone in the middle of the ring. There are some awesome options that you can find online, and they look so good – you are certain of having a very tough time choosing the one which is perfect for you!
You can choose from options like 14K white gold, 18K white gold, 14K yellow gold, 18K yellow gold, and Platinum. When we visited our local popular jewelry mall, we could not find a decent buy for under $800. However, online there are options starting from half that amount, and they look much better too! With the huge choice that an online jewelry store gives us at that price, why would people go to their local jewelers any more?
Men’s Solid wedding bands
These are the standard fare at weddings around the world. For a lot of families, diamonds are not a part of their wedding culture, and they prefer the age old tradition of exchanging solid wedding bands. For these, the most beloved options are the plain bands in gold and in platinum. However, with the modern times, the metals also are undergoing a change, and with the advent of Benchmark, and its gaining tremendous popularity all over the country, customers now have access to rare metals like Titanium to make their wedding bands. Will you believe it if we tell you that these rings are available from as little as $110!!
In solid gold wedding bands, yellow gold still is a popular metal, especially when it comes in a designer package – like with milgrain and spiral bands. If you are not very sure about what they mean, take a look here – http://www.diamondsonweb.com/shopping/settings.mhtml?cat=15.
Since wedding bands are usually bought in the form of a matching set, it makes a lot of sense for you to look up designs that will match both the man and the lady. And if you are looking to buy something for the couple, consider getting a wedding band that will fit right into the ring that they sport on their fingers. The look is one of sophistication and elegance.
Another option that you can consider if the person you are buying for is into jewelry, is that of three stone rings. Quite a lot of men nowadays are comfortable sporting diamonds on their fingers, and three stone wedding rings are quite the rage there.
All through this article, we’ve been talking of online jewelry stores, simply because the choice and the prices there are unthinkable at your local jewelry stores. Check them out, and you will agree too.

The Color of Gold
In its native state, Gold is always a golden-yellow and is way too soft to wear. That being said, gold is usually alloyed with other metals to increase its hardness for use in jewelry. While there are many color varieties of gold on the market, rose, white, or green gold do not occur naturally, but are a result of alloying yellow gold with various other metals (copper, silver, zinc, nickel, platinum, palladium).
Pale or white gold results when either silver, platinum, nickel, zinc, or palladium are added. White gold is actually "gray-white" almost steel-like in color and was originally developed to imitate platinum at a fraction of its price and is substantially harder than yellow gold. In the United States, nickel based white gold alloys are predominantly used by the jewelry industry. In Europe, both nickel and palladium based white gold alloys are used. Most skin irritations caused by wearing white gold occur due to the nickel content. If you like favor the look of white gold, be sure to ask your jeweler if the white gold is a nickel based alloy to prevent any potential allergic reactions.
Adding copper yields rose, red, or pink gold and iron gives gold a blue tinge. Blue gold is an alloy of between 18K to 23K yellow that contains the remainder karat weight in small amounts of iron and nickel. The purity of alloy gold is expressed as its karat value, defined as the proportion of pure gold metal present in the alloy. Therefore, 24K gold is pure gold (actually 99.99 percent as one cannot guarantee an absolute purity), 12K gold is 50% purity, 18K gold is 75% purity.
