9kt vs. 14kt Gold – What’s the Difference?
When shopping for gold jewelry, you’ve probably come across different karats, like 9kt and 14kt. But what do these numbers really mean, and can you actually see the difference? Let’s break it down.
Gold Purity: The Basics
The karat (kt) number refers to the percentage of pure gold in a piece of jewelry:
- 9kt gold contains 37.5% pure gold, mixed with other metals for strength and durability.
- 14kt gold contains 58.5% pure gold, making it a bit richer in color while still being durable for everyday wear.
While 14kt has a higher gold content, 9kt is equally stylish and strong—perfect for modern, wearable jewelry. And here’s the secret: to the untrained eye, the difference in color is so subtle that most people won’t notice it at all.
