Jewellery Focus reports on all facets of 14k gold’s role in the trade, including pricing trends, shifts in consumer preferences, design applications, sourcing and ethical supply issues, and hallmarking standards. Our coverage supports the commercial needs of UK retailers, designers, manufacturers, and wholesalers by offering timely, trade-focused insights into this widely sold gold alloy.
