The terms 10kt, 14kt, and 18kt refer to the karatage or purity of gold in jewelry. Karats measure the proportion of pure gold in an alloy, with 24kt being pure gold. Therefore, 10kt gold contains 41.7% pure gold, 14kt gold contains 58.3%, and 18kt gold contains 75%. As the karatage increases, so does the gold content and overall value of the jewelry. The choice between these options often depends on personal preference, durability, and budget considerations.
