Gold Jewelry

Fourteen karat white and yellow gold mountings set with ruby, sapphire, emerald, tourmaline and amethyst under micropave diamond.

Buy 14k Gold Jewelry Priced by Karat Mark, Gold Weight and Centre Stone

A karat mark states purity rather than weight: 14k gold is 585 parts fine gold in every thousand, alloyed with copper, silver and palladium so a mounting survives daily wear. Buy from the 13 pieces on this page and two separate values are being settled at once, the gold in the mounting and the graded gemstone the mounting holds. Astro Gallery of Gems weighs, photographs and catalogues every ring, pendant and pair of earrings on its own, and prints the karat, the centre stone carat weight and the diamond carat weight on each listing.

What the Karat Mark on a Gold Mounting Actually Contains

Gold at 24 karat is too soft to hold a stone, so every mounting here is an alloy chosen for hardness and colour. The stamp appears inside a ring shank, on the reverse of a pendant bail or on an earring post, reading either 14K or 585 depending on which convention the workshop follows. White gold takes its colour from palladium or nickel in the alloy and from a thin rhodium plating that thins with wear.

14k white gold and the 585 stampAstro Gallery buys mountings stamped 14K or 585, which fixes the gold content at 58.5 percent by weight. That alloy takes a micropave seat without the metal moving, and it absorbs the knocks a ring collects daily.
Corundum: ruby and sapphireRuby and sapphire are the same aluminium oxide species separated only by chromium and iron traces. Corundum measures Mohs 9, second to diamond, so a ruby ring set in gold survives daily wear better than any other coloured stone on this page.
Beryl: emeraldEmerald is chromium coloured beryl, Mohs 7.5 to 8, carrying the internal fissures the trade calls jardin. Almost all emerald reaching the bench is oiled to soften those fissures, and that treatment governs how an emerald ring must later be cleaned.
Quartz and tourmaline centresAmethyst is quartz at Mohs 7, tourmaline a complex borosilicate at Mohs 7 to 7.5, and both arrive in the big open carat weights that suit a pendant. Larger stones at gentler prices explain why a 13 carat tourmaline sits below a 2 carat ruby.

Shop Gold by Karat: 10k, 14k, 18k and 22k Against Each Other

Karat decides colour, hardness and how much of the ticket price is metal. Buyers meet all four standards across the market, and the ladder below explains which one a workshop chooses for which job.

Karat and finenessWhat that alloy does on the finger
10k, 417 parts per thousandThe hardest and palest of the four, common in American commercial work and noticeably less golden beside a 14k chain.
14k, 585 parts per thousandThe standard across every mounting in this collection, balancing enough gold for colour and value against enough alloy to carry pave seats and prong tips.
18k, 750 parts per thousandRicher yellow and warmer white, favoured by European houses and softer in wear, so an 18k shank thins sooner than the same design in 14k.
22k, 916 parts per thousandDeep saturated yellow across South Asian bridal jewelry, soft enough that 22k work runs to chain, bangle and granulation rather than a gem set prong head.

Each line in this table is a single finished piece rather than a repeating model, so a ring that sells drops off it instead of staying online as something nobody can add to cart. Astro Gallery prices each mounting against its gold weight, its centre stone and its diamond carat weight together.

Order a Ring at a Stated Finger Size, or a Pendant That Needs None

Sizing separates this collection into two purchase paths, and choosing the wrong one is the commonest reason a gift has to travel back. Astro Gallery states the finger size on every ring listing and confirms before purchase whether a particular shank will take alteration.

The ring, bought at a stated sizeRings here are listed at sizes such as 6.5, 7 and 7.5, measured on a steel mandrel rather than estimated. A plain shank usually moves one or two sizes at a bench, whereas a fully diamond set band leaves a jeweller no clear metal to cut, so the size on the listing decides the purchase.
The pendant or earring, bought at any sizeA pendant supplied on an 18 inch 14 karat gold chain and a pair of studs or leverbacks fit whoever wears them, which is why gift buyers reach for them first. Chain length is the only variable worth checking: 16, 18 and 20 inches sit at the collarbone, below it and on the sternum.

Four Checks Before You Purchase a Gem Set Gold Mounting

Four faults account for most disappointment in gem set gold, and each of them shows in a photograph taken close enough. Astro Gallery photographs every piece at high resolution so these checks happen before payment.

The karat stamp and where it sitsLook for 14K or 585 inside the shank, on the bail or on the post. An unstamped mounting is not automatically plated, but a stamped one settles the question of gold content without any test, and every piece here carries its mark.
Prong tips and pave seatsProngs should sit flat on the crown of the stone rather than standing proud, and micropave beads should be even in size along the whole run. A lifted prong or a missing bead means bench work has happened, and the description says so.
Carat weight against stone sizeListings quote the centre stone and the diamond weight separately, such as 2.18ct with .30dia. A 6.7 carat amethyst reads far larger across the finger than a 2 carat ruby because quartz is markedly less dense than corundum.
Treatment disclosureHeating in corundum and oiling in emerald are long established practice, and neither makes a stone an imitation. Undisclosed treatment is the real fault, so Astro Gallery answers treatment questions on any individual piece before you commit.

Karat, Carat and Micropave: the Words on a Gold Listing

KaratThe purity of gold expressed in twenty fourths, so 14k is fourteen parts gold to ten parts alloy, stamped as 585 in the millesimal system.
CaratThe weight of a gemstone, one carat being 0.2 grams, written as ct on a listing and never interchangeable with the karat of the metal.
MicropaveA setting style in which very small diamonds are held by tiny raised beads of gold, giving a continuous surface of stones with almost no visible metal.
HaloA ring of small diamonds encircling the centre stone, which lifts apparent size and frames a coloured gem against the white of the mounting.
BailThe fitting above a pendant that carries the chain, frequently diamond set itself and always the first place to inspect for thinning metal.
LeverbackAn earring fitting that closes with a hinged lever behind the lobe, holding a drop more securely than a butterfly back and suiting heavier gem set designs.

Keeping 14k Gold and Its Stones Bright

Lukewarm water with a little mild detergent and a soft toothbrush worked behind the setting restore most of the life a gem set mounting loses, because skin oil collects under the stone where it blocks returning light. Ultrasonic cleaning suits ruby and sapphire, yet it drives oil out of an emerald and can open a fissure, so emerald pieces go back to warm water alone. Remove gold jewelry before swimming, since chlorine attacks the copper in the alloy and causes stress corrosion at solder joints over months. Store each piece in its own pouch, because diamond at Mohs 10 scratches gold and every coloured stone beside it.

Gold Jewelry Bought to Wear, to Gift and to Keep

Three buyers reach this collection through the same listings. Daily wearers choose corundum for hardness and pick a stud or leverback over a drop that swings against a collar. Gift buyers work to occasions, and the pendant on a supplied chain removes the sizing question that makes a surprise ring risky. Collectors and estate buyers read the stone first, treating the gold as the mounting and the ruby, sapphire or emerald as the asset that holds value across decades.

Astro Gallery documents metal, karat, stone species and carat weight, and leaves birthstone tradition to the buyer rather than making a claim on its behalf. Ruby for July, sapphire for September and emerald for May all appear in this collection, so anyone working to a birth month can shop by stone instead.

Paying for Gold Jewelry, and How the Parcel Travels

Whatever figure a listing shows is the figure charged, and secure checkout runs on Shop Pay, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and on Visa, Mastercard, Discover and Diners Club cards. Astro Gallery itemises the karat, the centre stone species and both carat weights on the invoice, which is the document an insurer wants when a piece is scheduled on a household policy.

Astro Gallery of Gems has dispatched fine jewelry since 1961, and a small parcel gets the same attention as a heavy one. Every ring travels in a slotted insert so the head cannot press against the box, pendants ship with the chain coiled and secured, and the outer carton is sealed for a signature at delivery. Each box goes out fully insured and tracked to its destination, with declared value and customs documents completed ahead of collection. Astro Gallery backs the whole sequence with an itemised invoice, with the returns terms it publishes, and with the guarantee recorded on about us.

Hallmark, Sizing and Delivery Questions Answered Before You Buy

Is the gold solid 14k or plated?
Every mounting in this collection is solid 14k gold, stamped 14K or 585, at 58.5 percent fine gold by weight. White gold carries a rhodium plating over solid gold for whiteness, which is a surface finish on real gold rather than plating over a base metal.
How much does a 14k gold gemstone ring cost here?
Sapphire and tourmaline rings open the range, ruby and emerald rings sit above them, and diamond heavy earrings reach the top. The table higher on this page shows what each mounting costs right now, priced on its own gold weight and stones rather than to a model.
Can I buy a ring in a size other than the one listed?
Each ring is listed at the size it currently measures, such as 6.5 or 7.5. Email us the piece and the size you need before you purchase, and our specialists confirm whether that particular shank can be altered without disturbing the diamonds.
What is the difference between karat and carat on these listings?
Karat measures the purity of the gold, so 14k means fourteen parts gold in twenty four. Carat measures the weight of a gemstone at 0.2 grams each, which is why a listing reads 14k white gold with a 2.98ct emerald.
Are the centre stones and diamonds natural?
The rubies, sapphires, emeralds, tourmalines and amethysts in this collection are natural gem material, set with natural diamond accents. Heating in corundum and oiling in emerald are standard trade enhancements, and we answer treatment questions on any piece before purchase.
Does a gold pendant arrive with a chain?
Pendants in this collection are supplied with an 18 inch 14 karat gold chain unless the listing states otherwise. Contact us if a different length suits the wearer better, and we confirm what the piece can be paired with before dispatch.
Can I order gold jewelry as a gift and have it shipped abroad?
Yes, gift orders travel worldwide, tracked throughout and insured for their full declared value, with customs documents settled in advance. Tell us at checkout that a piece is a gift and we keep the invoice out of the box and email it to you instead.
What if a ring does not fit when it arrives?
Our returns page carries the terms, and a ring goes back in original condition with its original packaging. Most buyers avoid that trip by asking for the finger size, the band width and extra photographs first.

Gold Beside Diamonds, Silver and the Loose Stones

Gold jewelry overlaps several rooms in this catalogue, and the deciding question is whether metal, format or stone matters most to you. Buyers led by the metal move sideways into rose gold and silver, while buyers led by the gem follow ruby, sapphire or emerald into the loose stone pages.
