There is more gold in 18 karat gold (approx 70%) than in 14 karat gold (only 50% gold) making 18 karat gold more valuable. However gold is a soft metal so the higher the gold content the less durable the jewelery. Therefore depending on the use one may prefer 14 karat gold, for something like a chain that needs to be more durable than say earrings.
