Have you ever wondered why gold jewellery comes with those mysterious "10k," "14k," and "18k" markings? It's not just a secret code – it's the key to understanding the purity and durability of your precious piece. And when you're investing in a stunning lab-grown diamond or moissanite from Diamondrensu Australia, you want to make sure it's set in the perfect gold.
What Exactly Does Karat Mean?
"Karat" refers to the amount of pure gold in an alloy. Think of it like this:
- 24k gold is 100% pure gold – like a delicate flower, beautiful but too soft for everyday wear.
- 18k gold is 75% pure gold, mixed with other metals for strength and a rich, warm hue.
- 14k gold strikes a balance with 58.3% pure gold, offering durability and a classic golden colour.
- 10k gold is the most durable option, containing 41.7% pure gold, making it perfect for active lifestyles.
Which Gold is "Just Right" for You?
Choosing the perfect karat depends on your priorities:
- Budget-conscious? 10k gold offers exceptional value without compromising on beauty.
- Want that classic gold look? 14k gold is the most popular choice for its balance of beauty and durability.
- Seeking luxury and a rich gold tone? 18k gold is your go-to. Its warm glow beautifully complements the brilliance of our lab-grown diamonds.
- All of our products are available in your choice of either 10k, 14k, or 18k gold.
Beyond Colour: White Gold and Rose Gold
Did you know that the karat also affects the appearance of white and rose gold?
- White gold: While all white gold is plated with rhodium for a bright white finish, the underlying karat can subtly influence its tone.
- Rose gold: The higher the karat, the more intense the rosy hue, as the copper content becomes more prominent.
