9k Solid Gold
Solid 9k gold is a durable and versatile choice for fine jewellery, crafted to balance beauty, strength, and affordability. Unlike gold-plated or gold vermeil pieces, solid gold is made entirely of a gold alloy, ensuring that the colour will not fade or wear off over time.
Specifically, 9k gold consists of 37.5% pure gold mixed with other metals like silver, copper, or zinc to enhance its durability and strength, making it ideal for everyday wear.
Why Choose 9k Gold Over Higher-Karat Gold?
While higher-karat gold, such as 18k or 24k, contains a higher percentage of pure gold, it is also softer and more prone to scratches, bending, or damage. 9k gold offers a number of advantages:
Greater Durability: The addition of other metals makes 9k gold stronger and less likely to scratch or bend, making it perfect for daily wear.
Affordable Luxury: With its lower gold content, 9k gold is more affordable than 18k or 24k gold while still maintaining a beautiful golden hue.
Reduced Maintenance: 9k gold requires less frequent polishing and maintenance compared to higher-karat gold, which can show wear more quickly.
Everyday Wear: Its durability and strength make 9k gold the ideal choice for people who want to wear their jewellery every single day without worry.
How Long Does Solid 9k Gold Last?
Solid 9k gold is designed to last a lifetime. Unlike plated or vermeil pieces, the gold in 9k jewellery will not wear away because it is solid throughout. Over time, 9k gold may develop a light patina or minor surface scratches, which can be polished away to restore its shine. With proper care, your 9k gold jewellery can remain beautiful for generations, making it perfect for heirlooms and sentimental pieces.
