What is 9/14 karat gold?

9/14 karat gold is harder than pure gold because it’s mixed with other metals, making it a popular choice for jewellery that’s worn every day.


9K has 37.5% real gold in it.
14K has 58.3% real gold in it.

The rest is made of stronger metals like copper, silver, or zinc. These extra metals make the gold tougher, so it doesn’t bend or scratch easily. That’s why 9/14K gold is great for pieces you can wear often without worrying too much.

Is 9/14K Gold Real Gold?

YES. Having mentioned that, let’s first understand what gold is.

Gold is a natural precious metal that’s soft in its pure form. Pure gold is measured in 24 karats. But because 24KT gold is very soft, it’s not ideal for everyday jewelry. That’s why jewelers mix it with other metals to make it stronger and more suitable for regular wear.

9 karat gold means that out of 24 parts, 9 parts are pure gold.

14 karat gold means that out of 24 parts, 14 parts are pure gold.


At ZAUV, every gold piece is BIS-hallmarked or Certified, so you can trust its purity and value.

It’s real gold, just made to last longer and fit better into everyday life.
