10-Karat Gold

10k gold stands as the foundational solid gold alloy for jewelry, comprising 41.7% Gold and 58.3% alloy.

  • Aesthetic: 10k gold exhibits a subtle pale yellow color, the least intense among all karat types due to its lower gold content.
  • Merits: The primary strength of 10k gold lies in its durability, thanks to its higher alloy composition. It is also the most budget-friendly choice among commonly used gold alloys.
  • Drawbacks: Potential allergic reactions to the alloy and a less vibrant color compared to higher karat gold.
  • Applications: Widely employed in crafting affordable jewelry, particularly earrings.

14k gold emerges as the prevalent choice for jewelry settings, consisting of 58.3% gold and 41.7% alloy.

  • Visual Appeal: 14k gold boasts a brighter yellow hue compared to 10k gold but is not as intense as 24k gold.

18-Karat Gold

18k gold, though less commonly utilized due to its higher cost without substantial added benefits, consists of 75% gold and 25% alloy.
