9ct gold lined.
No...24ct is pure gold - 10ct contains only 41.67% gold. The higher the number (up to 24ct)the more gold is in the object. The only way that 10ct would be worth more is if you had alot more 10ct than (by weight) than 24ct . In other words if you had 1 ounce of 24ct gold it would be worth about $1100. It would take 2.5 ounces of 10ct to equal the 1 ounce value of 24ct.
It will depend on the gem variety and shape. Just to throw out a wild number, they'd weigh about .25ct each, so 40 in your 10ct parcel.
Yes, you could pawn a 10 carat diamond ring. However, the shop would properly demand documentation that you were the true and sole owner of a stone this size.

10ct gold plated base metal
In general, 10ct gold is stronger and more durable than 9ct gold because it has a higher gold content. However, 9ct gold is more affordable and may be a better option for everyday jewelry due to its lower gold content which makes it more resistant to scratches and wear. It ultimately depends on your preferences and how you plan to wear the jewelry.
'Good' is a judgement and you are the judge. A 'good' diamond could be a perfect, flawless, diamond, as in a 'good' investment. Or a 'good' diamond could be a family heirloom, worn by several generations of fabulous women.
