"Cheap" is a relative term. 10K gold is cheaper than, say, 14K gold, but more expensive than silver. 10K gold is known for being very durable - it's harder than 14K or 18K gold, so it doesn't ding and dent as easily - and could be better for your needs because of this. But I wouldn't generally say that ANY gold is "cheap", regardless of its purity.
When it comes to gold, karats are a measure of purity, not weight. (Diamonds are measured by weight in carats.) So, your question is meaningless.
