10K gold is 10 parts gold to 14 parts of ... some other metal (usually mostly silver with some copper,nickel, and/or zinc). The reason for using gold alloys rather than pure gold in jewelry is that a) other metals are cheaper than gold and b) the alloy is considerably harder than pure gold, so it stands up better to wear and tear.
It is possible to refine 10K gold to pure gold, if that's what you're asking, but the easiest way involves strong acids, so you may just want to sell it as is to a professional refiner.
