Gold jewelry is loved for its shine, purity, and timeless beauty—but not all gold is the same. At DVN Jewelry, we believe customers should understand exactly what they are buying. One of the most important things to know is the karat, which tells you how much pure gold is present in your jewelry.

Here’s a simple breakdown to help you understand the difference between 9K, 14K, 18K, and 22K gold.

What Does Karat Mean?

Karat (K) represents the portion of pure gold out of 24 parts.

• 24K = 100% pure gold

• Lower karats = gold mixed with stronger metals for durability

Each karat type has its own strength, color, cost, and ideal usage.

🔶 9K Gold (37.5% Pure Gold)

Purity: 9 parts gold + 15 parts alloy

Color: Slightly pale yellow

Durability: Very strong, ideal for rough daily wear

Why Choose 9K:

• Affordable

• Lightweight

• Perfect for daily-wear pendants, earrings, and minimalist jewelry

DVN Jewelry’s Note:
9K gold is popular for modern lightweight designs, corporate wear, and budget-friendly collections.

🔶 14K Gold (58.5% Pure Gold)

Purity: 14 parts gold + 10 parts alloy

Color: Warm yellow with a brighter shine

Durability: Stronger than 18K & 22K

Why Choose 14K:

• Ideal balance of purity, shine, and strength

• Perfect for rings, chains, bracelets

• Great for international markets like USA & Europe

DVN Jewelry’s Note:
DVN manufactures several export-quality pieces in 14K due to its durability and compatibility with intricate manufacturing techniques like CNC and casting.

🔶 18K Gold (75% Pure Gold)

Purity: 18 parts gold + 6 parts alloy

Color: Rich yellow with elegant shine

Durability: Good strength + higher purity

Why Choose 18K:

• Luxurious appearance

• Ideal for high-fashion jewelry

• Great for gemstone settings (CZ, diamonds, color stones)

• Popular in premium bridal or designer collections

DVN Jewelry’s Note:
18K gold works beautifully with our CNC, laser welding, and handmade fusion techniques, creating elegant designs with superb finish.

🔶 22K Gold (91.6% Pure Gold)

Purity: 22 parts gold + 2 parts alloy

Color: Deep traditional yellow—classic Indian gold

Durability: Softer than lower karats; used for most Indian jewelry

Why Choose 22K:

• Perfect for investment + jewelry

• Most loved for bangles, chains, mangalsutras, and traditional designs

• Ideal for weddings and cultural occasions

DVN Jewelry’s Note:
DVN specializes in 22K gold jewelry manufacturing, including bangles, couple bands, and bridal sets—crafted with precision, purity, and heritage-inspired designs.
