585 Gold — How Much is 14 Karat Gold Worth?
✍️ Ehsaan Batt • 📅 6/10/2026 • ⏱️ 1 Min. Lesezeit
What Does 585 Gold Mean?
The designation “585” stands for the purity of the gold: 585 out of 1,000 parts are pure gold, or 58.5%. On the karat scale, this corresponds to 14 Karats. The remaining 41.5% consists of alloy metals such as silver, copper, or palladium.
Why 585 Gold is So Popular
585 gold is the most commonly used gold alloy for jewelry in Germany and Europe. The reason: it offers a great balance between pure gold content, durability, and price. Pure 24-karat gold would be too soft for everyday jewelry.

To calculate the pure gold value of a piece of 585 jewelry:
- Determine the weight of the item in grams
- Calculate the fine weight: Weight × 0.585
