10k Gold Bracelet

10k gold bracelet: tough solid gold at the gentlest cost

The 10k gold bracelet is solid gold, but the cheapest of the three purities for the same design. It is also the hardest alloy: it stands up best to scratches and knocks. The collection offers 291 designs, mostly gold bracelets for men, with gold bracelets for women, set with moissanite, lab-grown diamond or natural diamond.

Why choose a 10k gold bracelet?

• A purity of 417 parts per thousand: 41.7% pure gold, solid gold all the way through.
• The hardest alloy of the three purities, the best equipped for a bracelet you wear a lot.
• Tennis bracelets from 3 to 10 mm and bracelets with a Cuban link from 6 to 14 mm.
• VVS1 moissanite, lab-grown diamond or natural diamond on every design.
• A slightly paler shade than 14k or 18k, in yellow, white or rose gold.

10k gold or 9ct gold: the comparison

417 parts per thousand against 375

Many jewellers sell 9ct gold, which is 375 parts per thousand. 10k is 417 parts per thousand: so it contains slightly more gold for a jewel of the same kind. If you are looking for a 9ct gold bracelet, 10k is its closest neighbour, a notch up in gold content.

Why it is the most accessible purity

The lower the purity, the harder the alloy and the lower the cost. For the same design, 10k costs less than the 14k gold bracelet, which itself costs less than the 18k gold bracelet. To understand hallmarks, read our article on gold jewellery hallmarks.

The limits to know

The colour is slightly paler, because the share of pure gold is lower: 41.7%. If you want the richest shade, turn to 18k. The detail is in our comparison 10K or 14K gold. For a first gold jewel, a sports bracelet or a gift, 10k remains a very sensible choice.

Choosing the shape and colour

Yellow, white or rose

A yellow gold bracelet has the classic shade. The rose gold bracelet is alloyed with more copper. The white gold bracelet is alloyed with pale metals. The gold bangle, rarer here, is a plain ring; tennis and Cuban bracelets are the most numerous.

Tennis, Cuban and length

The tennis bracelets come in 16, 18 and 20 cm, the Cuban ones in 17, 20 and 23 cm. Our size guide explains how to measure your wrist.

Which stone for a gold and diamond bracelet?

Moissanite is created in a laboratory and is very hard (about 9.25 on the Mohs scale). The lab-grown diamond is a real diamond, with the same hardness (10) as the natural one. The natural diamond is the rarest of the three. For a gold and diamond bracelet, see our natural diamond jewellery.

Care

Take it off for sport, housework and swimming. Clean it in lukewarm water, with mild soap and a soft brush, then dry it with a soft cloth. A solid gold bracelet does not oxidise as silver does.
