Minimal thikness for 14k gold

#1

Hi, I would like to get a ring in 14k gold, however I don’t know what is the minimal thickness for quality and durability.

Hello,

For most models in Gold, the minimum wall thickness you can use is 0.8mm. However, when making something small such as the band of a ring, the wall thickness should be at least 1 mm. The fragility of the gold might cause the ring to break when you wear it if the model is too thin.
