I don't know what you mean by, "better", but 10K has less gold in it than 14K does. By the way, 24K gold is more or less pure gold.

Difference between 10k and 14k gold?

24K gold is pure gold. Pure gold is very soft, and can bend or scratch easily. So they mix it with other metals to make it harder and more durable. Higher amounts of other metals lowers the karate value. So 14K gold has more gold than 10K gold. 14K gold is also softer than 10K gold, but harder than pure gold.

Can a jewelry that is 10k yellow gold be upgraded to a 14k yellow gold?

Gold purity in jewelry is represented by how much -- on a scale of 24K being pure gold -- of the metal is gold. A 10K gold 'batch' will always be a 10K gold batch -- only 10/24ths of the batch is gold, whether solid or melted. And the same is true of a 14K gold 'batch'. In order to 'upgrade' 10K yellow gold metal to 14K yellow gold metal, the 10K metal must be melted, separated from whatever other metal is in the 'batch', then added to less other metal in order for the same gold to be 'upgraded' to 14K. Another option is to replace the 10K setting with a 14K setting.

What is stronger 10k or 14k gold?

10k gold is stronger than 14k as it has more alloys and less pure gold. However, the value decreases as well as 14k has more gold and is worth more. In terms of strength, 10k has a bit more than 14k but the difference is not that much. You can still safely wear your pendants/charms on a 14k chain and it's not going to break any easier than a 10k chain. Just keep your chains clean and be sure to only dip them in cleaner for about 15 seconds, immediately drop them into a dish with clean water and then wipe off. Jewellery cleaner will eat away at your gold if you dip it too long and don't rinse it off with water right after to stop the solution. Honestly, I wear both 10k and 14k and keep them clean and I can't tell the difference between strengths as far as wear ability goes. Only thing I find is that my 14k gold chains are a darker yellow than my 10k so it just depends if you want to wear something with a little more shine or a little less. Both are good qualities and I wouldn't go any higher in the K or else it gets even softer.


How hard is gold?

Gold can be both soft and hard depending on how pure it is, pure gold (24K) is softer than a gold alloy. And the lower the number the harder it is. 10K is harder than 14K, 14K is harder than 18K, and 18K is harder than 24K (pure gold).
