Welcome back to the Rachel Beth Jewellery Podcast Show! I'm Rachel Lake, your host, and the founder and creative director of Rachel Beth Jewellery.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring the world of gold karats—specifically, the distinctions between 18K, 14K, and 9K gold. Each type of gold brings its own blend of purity, colour, and durability, and understanding these differences can significantly impact your jewellery choices.

We’ll start with 18K gold, known for its luxurious and rich appearance. With 75% pure gold, it’s a superb option for those who desire a piece that combines elegance with everyday wearability. Its vibrant colour and resistance to tarnish make it ideal for items you wear daily, such as wedding bands and favourite rings.

Next, we’ll examine 14K gold. Balancing affordability and durability, 14K gold contains 58.5% pure gold and offers a less intense hue than 18K gold. It’s perfect for those seeking a blend of quality and practicality, suitable for engagement rings and other frequently worn jewellery pieces.

Finally, we’ll discuss 9K gold, the most budget-friendly option with 37.5% pure gold. Its subtler colour provides a charming vintage look, making it perfect for occasional wear or statement pieces. While it might not be as rich in gold content, its affordability and unique appeal make it a valuable choice for certain styles.

Join me as we delve into these gold types, helping you find the perfect match for your jewellery needs. By understanding these karat distinctions, you’ll be better equipped to select the right gold for your lifestyle and taste.
