58.3% pure · 14/24 · hallmarked 58514K is 58.3% gold, stamped 585 — a little over half the metal by weight. It is the workhorse karat of the United States and much of Eastern Europe, chosen for exactly the reason the Gulf tends to avoid it: hard, cheap to make in volume, and very difficult to damage.
Everyday wedding bands, men's rings and chains meant to be worn and forgotten are commonly 14K, because a piece that spends its life against a keyboard or a steering wheel survives better at 585 than at 875. The colour is paler, and next to a 21K piece the difference is visible.
As a store of value it is the weakest of the five: more than 40% of what you carry is not gold, and shops that buy gold back in gold-standard markets often quote poorly for it or decline it, because the local trade is not set up to melt and re-refine it.
The dominant retail karat in Japan is 24K, so 14K is usually a deliberate choice here — bought for what it does better, not because it is what the shop happened to have.

Japan gold market
Japan's retail gold market centres on 24K gold (99.9% pure), quoted locally per gram in JPY. As a free-floating currency, the JPY means prices also reflect daily JPY/USD exchange-rate moves. Japan prizes pure 24K 'junkin'; Tanaka Kikinzoku, established in 1885, is the dominant bullion retailer and publishes a closely watched daily price.
Common questions about 14K gold in Japan
- How is the 14K gold price in Japan calculated?
- The 14K per-gram price in Japan is computed as: spot ounce price (XAU/USD) ÷ 31.1035 g × purity ratio × JPY/USD FX rate. The spot price is sourced from Binance, Coinbase and Kraken via PAXG/USD, refreshed every second.
- Why does the gold price differ between shops in Japan?
- The raw spot price is the same across all shops. Differences come from three factors: (1) making charges (5-30 local units per gram), (2) retailer margin (3-10%), (3) local tax if applicable. The price shown here is the floor reference before any add-ons.
- How often is the Japan gold price updated?
- The spot ounce price refreshes in real time via WebSocket (multiple times per second). The JPY/USD FX rate refreshes hourly from open central-bank data. The table above reflects the latest available price.
