10k yellow gold, 14k gold


With all her experience with gold, my sister has become the 10k yellow gold family expert. Whenever anyone in the family is looking for something remotely close to having gold it is my sister that comes in and gives them her 10k yellow gold lecture. Needless to day she is totally in love with 10k yellow gold, because as she says, 10k yellow gold is the perfect middle between gold beauty and durability. A while back she was explaining to my mom that because 10k yellow gold has some extra composites in it, this type of gold ends up being harder and more durable than 14k gold. She says that this is an excellent advantage for a lot of people because, many of us are looking to get jewelry that can last for a long time and become a family heirloom. In addition, for her, 10k yellow gold is perfect because she tends to be a bit clumsy and the hardness of 10k yellow gold protects the jewelry a lot better than higher karats of gold which tend to be softer. Don’t get me wrong she also loves and has many decadent 14k gold pieces, but it she says that 10k yellow gold is a lot more practical.
