18K is softer than 14K because there is a higher gold content. You can't tell the difference by looking at it though so I can't imagine that it would matter too much either way.

most people get 14k these days...it's rare to see 18k or even 24k. i don't know that you can really spot the difference in them especially if they are apart.

18k yellow gold appears to be more yellow. Not sure if you can see a visible difference with white gold

As far as durability 14K is better for a ring. 18K may be too soft and you may bend it too easily.

I agree. I have my grandmother's 14K ring and even THAT is totally worn SO THIN after 50 years of her wearing it, over time it just wears the gold down. 18K is even softer.

My E Ring is 18K and it has not changed shape in anyway. I wear it all the time. I have had it over 2 years. I would just ask a jeweler.

I like 18K better. Nicer quality, this 14K thing is a US thing, other countries in the world use mostly 18K... XOXOXO Kitty
