10 Karat Gold

10 Karat Gold is a popular gold alloy known for its durability and affordability. Composed of 41.7% pure gold and 58.3% other metals, usually a mix of silver, copper, and zinc, 10K gold has a lighter color than higher karat golds, giving it a subtle, more muted yellow tone. It’s widely used in jewelry due to its resilience and resistance to scratches, making it an excellent choice for pieces that endure daily wear, such as rings, bracelets, and necklaces.

The mix of other metals in 10K gold makes it harder than higher karat golds, but it also contains less pure gold, which results in a lower price point. This balance between durability and cost-effectiveness makes 10K gold a favorite for budget-friendly fine jewelry. Additionally, 10K gold is often available in various colors, including yellow, white, and rose, allowing for versatility in style.
