How do I choose between 9ct, 14ct and 18ct gold jewellery?

Choosing between 9ct gold, 14ct gold and 18ct gold depends on your lifestyle, budget and how you plan to wear your jewellery.

All three are real gold, but their purity levels are different. 9ct gold purity contains 37.5% pure gold, while 14ct gold contains 58.5% real gold. 18ct gold contains 75% pure gold, giving it a richer colour than 9ct and 14ct gold.

If you're active or want durable everyday pieces like 9ct gold stud earrings or a 9ct gold charm pendant hung on a chain, then 9ct gold is an excellent choice! Its alloy mix makes it harder and more resistant to wear and scratches.

On the other hand, 18ct gold is perfect for heirloom pieces, fine jewellery and rings worn daily, offering a deeper gold tone and higher value due to its purity.

When comparing the two:

  • 9ct gold = stronger, more affordable and great for everyday wear.
  • 14ct gold = the perfect combination of 9ct and 18ct gold.
  • 18ct gold = richer colour, higher purity, premium feel.

Is 9ct gold good quality?

9ct gold is definitely good quality! It is durable and ideal for jewellery that can be worn everyday.

While some assume lower gold purity means lower quality, the opposite is often true for pieces that require strength. 9ct gold content includes a higher level of alloy metals, making the final material more resilient. This makes it a popular choice for pearl earrings, pendants, chains and everyday favourites. You will often see a 9ct gold marking with 375 stamped on the piece to indicate its purity.

Whether you're choosing a pair of 9ct gold pearl studs, a 9ct gold charm pendant or a 9ct gold pearl necklace, the quality remains long-lasting and reliable.
