10 Karat Gold is an alloy made up of 41.7% pure gold and 58.3% other metals, such as silver, copper, or zinc. The "karat" measurement indicates the proportion of gold in the alloy, with 24 karats being pure gold. This lower gold content makes 10 karat gold more durable and affordable than higher karat options. Due to its strength and resistance to scratching, 10 Karat Gold is often used in jewelry, especially for items like rings and bracelets. It has a lighter color compared to higher karat gold, which can appeal to those looking for a more subtle appearance.
