10k Gold Pendant

10k gold pendant: very tough solid gold at the gentlest cost of the three purities, set with moissanite or diamond. Discover it.

10k gold pendant, sturdy solid gold

The 10k gold pendant is solid gold at 417 parts per thousand, the hardest alloy in our range. It suits those who want a gold jewel without fragility and without the cost of a higher purity. This collection offers the gold pendant for men and the gold pendant for women, set with moissanite, lab-grown diamond or natural diamond, made to order.

Why choose a 10k gold pendant?

  • 417 parts per thousand: 41.7% pure gold, and yet solid gold all the way through.
  • The hardest alloy of the three purities: the best equipped against scratches and knocks.
  • For the same design, the cheapest of the three gold purities in the shop.
  • A stone-set bail wide enough for a Cuban chain.
  • Stones to choose from: VVS1 moissanite, lab-grown diamond, natural diamond.
  • Sizes from 1 inch (25.4 mm) to 3 inches (76.2 mm).

10k gold and 9ct gold: a fair comparison

417 against 375 parts per thousand

Many searches are for 9ct gold, the common purity in jewellers' shops. It contains 375 parts per thousand of pure gold. 10k gold contains 417: a little more gold, for comparable sturdiness. That is why a 9ct gold pendant and a 10k pendant look very alike in use, the second simply being richer in gold.

Hallmarks

In jewellery, the purity of gold is often stamped in a hallmark. Our article on hallmarks on gold, plated and silver jewellery helps you read them.

10k, 14k or 18k gold: who suits which purity?

Budget and toughness first

The lower the purity, the harder the alloy and the lower the cost. 10k has a slightly paler shade than the others. If you prefer a more assertive colour, look at the 14k gold pendant. For the richest shade, there is the 18k gold pendant. Our comparison of purities goes through each case.

For a pendant you do not baby

A sports pendant, a piece worn under a collar, a jewel given to a young adult: these are the uses where the hardness of 10k matters most.

Finish and personalisation

Three gold colours

Three colours to choose from on the product page: the white gold pendant, the yellow gold pendant and the rose, whose shade comes from the copper in the alloy. None of them is paint.

A made-to-measure version

For a personalised gold pendant, go through our personalised jewellery page: allow generally 2 to 4 weeks, with the time stated on the quote.

The pendant and its chain

The pendant is ordered on its own. For a gold pendant necklace or a gold chain and pendant of the same purity, see our 10k gold chains.

Care

A hard gold still needs care. Take the jewel off for sport, housework and swimming, clean it in lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, dry it with a soft cloth, then store it on its own. See also jewellery care.

Frequently asked questions

Is 10k gold real gold?

Yes. It is solid gold at 417 parts per thousand. It is not plated: the gold is present throughout the piece.

What is the difference between 9ct gold and 10k gold?

9ct is 375 parts per thousand, 10k is 417. The second contains slightly more pure gold.

Does a 10k gold pendant tarnish?

A solid gold jewel does not oxidise as silver does. A gentle clean is enough to bring back its shine.

Why is its shade paler?

Because it contains less pure gold and more alloy metals. The difference remains subtle.

What should I do if I have sensitive skin?
