Why does everyone HATE 10KARAT Gold Jewelry?

[@angelotrujillo6158]

Key words here, WHO CARES. Wear what makes you feel good, enjoy the beauty of the piece, and celebrate who made it. Been rocking jewelry for 30 years and I've never had someone come up and be like, "how many karats you holdin?" 😂😂😂😂

[@MauricioRotina]

My first chain was 10k and i still have it. I love it.

[@GOODFELLA-uk6rz]

It hold polish it's tuff as hell it's just as beautiful as 14k it lasts longer wears less it's the best one on my opinion if I want pure gold buy a 5 or 10gram pamp with a 14k bezel shit wtf lol

[@jamarcusturner]

I agree 100% if all I could afford was 10k wouldn’t have a problem or care what anyone else thought

[@GOODFELLA-uk6rz]

Hell ya I prefer 10k for my chains I wear everyday I have my rose gold DC rope 3mm 20inch and my 22inch 3mm yellow gold DC rope and my 18inch DC 2.5mm Franco I wear daily all 10k except my bezels on my pamp Bars even my picture pendant for my mom is rose gold on my rose rope and side by side to my 14k shit I can't tell no different in color at all whatsoever I think 18k rose looks the least rose and should not even be considered rose gold

[@peeayy]

[@Sal.357]

I have no issues with 10k. It's not my thing, but it all comes down to preference and what you can afford. Growing up, all jewelry in my family was 14k or 18k and that's just what im used to buying. Again, nothing wrong with 10k, but for me, it's not my cup of tea. Great Video and a good topic for debating.

[@fannywayne1920]

Understood .. whats crazy in my country 10k and 14k is the most popular if someone gets 18k gold they will dilute it to make it 10 karat ... karat is really preference and what your used to

[@GOODFELLA-uk6rz]

With that logic why not 24k ?

[@angelofloris1]

ok,,I.can tell you my experience .. basically I'm italian ,born and gown up here, and since I was young, i was receiving chains and pins for good fortune, especially in south Italy is a strong tradition ,, as soon as you got baptised you goodfather and godmother usually gift you with gold presents,, and the tradition is that the material has to be gold , plain , no diamonds or other stones , maybe some good pieces made by Mediterranean Coral , from vivid pink to red ,, but an important thing is that the gold has to be at least 18K , not less , NEVER ,, maybe you can get also 22K , but never less than 18K , because this presents are seeing as good omens, and growing up when you start to wear them ,you have to do it with pride ,, so i'm not saying nothing against the 14K or less ,, but im just reporting how our tradition are structured since I can remember , also from old stories that I heard ,, but we are used to this way , that's it ,, also I can say that Italy has one of the biggest gold reserve in the world , and this is what basically is kept as a Internationally State Insurance of stability in front of the rest of the world ... that's it .. 😎💯🔥

[@fannywayne1920]

No matter the karat you always pay for the gold content so a 10 karat chain can be worth more than a 18k chain because its heavier meaning it has more grams of gold in it

[@GOODFELLA-uk6rz]

No 18k is heavyer gold is more heavy than any aloy but I love 10k and 14k I could care less about 18k I got 24k pamp bar pendants but my chains are 14k 10k I want them to last

[@jflint2987]

I bought my first 10k gold and it’s nice. I didn’t exactly know anything about gold chains or even the style I got (which was a curve cubin 4mm 14gs) the only problem is that it was irritating my skin and I stop wearing it and bought a 5mm Cuban link 56gs 14k gold chain and my skin wasn’t getting irritated with that chain. So that’s the only reason why I wouldn’t wear 10k.

I’m not going to wear anything above 14k because I work for a living however I do collect 999.9 silver and gold.

[@wars_in_my_head]

I have always worn 14k. Ideally, I would like 18k, but it's pricey anything above 18k. I don't like it because I'm not a fan of that color of yellow, but in the end, wear what you like other people's opinions don't matter it's your money.

[@ricparks7441]

What is the profit margin difference for jewelers when they sell 10kt, 14kt, 18kt or 22kt? To me, that is the important question. If a person cant afford to buy higher thsn 10kt and the jeweler knows that the buyer's income is lower range, does the jeweler build in a higher profit to the sales price in order to make up for not selling higher karat gold jewelry? Serious question for you.

[@kurt5312]

Gold is pretty but honestly its a dick measuring contest in general. It is completly overrated and over hype. Everyone acts like its rare but there is 1000lbs in every store and tevery town has 10 +stores. In reality gold is a garbage metal if you think of what makes metal , metal. Its soft it deforms easy, i have gold, silver, platnium and if you want to talk superior metal platnium is it. Doesnt tarnesh and can be 100% without being able to bend with your hands

[@Lolyewmadbruoh]

Id consider it real gold when it starts to inherit golds characteristics, which is mainly that it's one of the least chemically reactive metals in the galaxy lol. I inherited a ring tgatbi suspect is 18k and idk, it doesnt scratch the same as my silver rings. Silver gets gashes where gold gets little micro sputs. A spit shine is all thats needed really, whereas steel anf silver need the old cape cod polish. Not gonna test the ring cause its sentimental and every test is destructive. Dont want a single micron damaged on this if it dont need to be. They got those xrf ray scanners now though...anyway

​@sgbabyflex ok lol you know nothing of economics... most 10k is selling as jewlery is between $30-$45 per gram and 22k is selling between $65-$75 so you do the math on the percentages and cost difference in the two... second example: if I order a hand made peice in 10k and also 22k the labor is going to cost the same. Think you need to re-take your economics class you think you passed lol

That introooo 🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂

[@RadixRill]

I have 10k, 14k, and 18k chains. Visually they are indistinguishable from each other. The only difference is if i tried to resell the 14k or 18k they would net more only because it's got more gold. But as jewelry.... visually, color wise, textures, shine, feel, sound, etc.... they are 100% indistinguishable. I actually prefer the 10k as my daily because i don't worry about it as much. And my 10k is 20 years old and hasn't tarnished any more than the 18k. They all get dull after a while but after a soap cleaning they're back exactly the same

[@darwinjuarez1634]

Thats not true many of low carat pieces of Old origin i have had in my hand, its almost every second piece tarnish, suppose to much copper.. even 14k “Can over time change colour because of the alloys” you have to go to 18k and up, it Will Never corrode or tarnish in thousand years, i live in Denmark where we have found viking jewellery in shallow water armbands of maybe 80% Gold or more.. and they say theres a lot more out on the Fields in the Old days the vikings “blotede til guderne” they offer the Gods Odin etc Gold for better life or for a succesfull raid to bring more Gold Home.. im thinking of buying a metaldetektor and going to Old settlements and gravetombs and around that area especially on the Beach and around settlements you could find a armbangle on 300gram or more finegold ..

i prefer 18 because it's more weight on my neck and with lower karats the plating always wears off and it's a lighter color compared to my 18k pieces. and they're ALL older than me so there's no more dip on them. if it's possible to make 10 look super dark like my 18k pieces without outer plating, i've never seen it, once the outer plating wears off there's always a noticeable color difference in my collection that's made out of pieces older than i am that i inherited. if it's true unplated 10k can look like 18 then you're the only one i've seen make that claim and maybe i need a 14k piece from you lol

Once the plating fades, you can just re-plate.

[@SolemnStacker]

If it's solid gold there is no Plating to wear out. 10k is not plated, it is just a lower concentration of Gold mixed among the other alloying elements often used (Silver, Copper, Palladium, zinc, etc). You don't need a specific type of gold to start out with to mix (10k, 14k), Gold is Gold (Pure gold that is, 24k .999/.9999). A jeweler or refiner just weights out the amount of 24k gold, could even be a gold coin, Pamp bar, etc (or they utilize existing melted down gold on hand), they then add the other metals needed to meet their final Karat goal and color (Rose, White, Yellow). 10k = 41.7% gold 58.3% other metals 14k = 58.3% gold 41.7% other metals 18k = 75% gold 25% other metals White Gold uses higher concentrations of Palladium and/or Silver to get the color. Uses less Copper to make it yellow/rose. Rose Gold uses higher concentrations of Copper to get the color, less Silver They cast the Gold/alloy mix in a ceramic mold of some shape, and then roll/press it out into wire, or whatever shape they are going for.
