Is it better to wear 14 karat gold ring or 10 karat?

Answer 1

Never heard of 1 karat gold but if you do the calculation (24k = pure gold)

1 / 24 x 100 = 4.17% gold , the balance is other metals

14 / 24 x 100 = 58.3% gold

You decide what is better, more gold is better of course.

Answer 2

Best way to determine this is to first see what carat of gold the item is that your would be attaching the charms to. If its 10, its better to put 10k charms on it. If its 14, put 14k's on it. The reason is because the higher the fineness of gold, the softer it will be therefore more prone to being scratched and worn by the harder, less karat item. 14k is softer than 10, so 10k would wear at it very quickly.

If the item your attaching them to is not gold, opt for costume charms, or if you specifically want real gold ones, use 10k, as once again, metals will wear away the gold more if its higher in karat. It would wear at 10k ones too but not as much

Answer 3

It depends by what you mean "better". 14 karat gold is a higher purity of gold and it will therefore be more expensive and have more gold in it. 10 karat gold will have less gold but will be scratch resistant and less likely to bend or break, 10 karat gold is also cheaper because it contains less gold.
