Is 10k gold real?

1 Answer
Is 10k gold real?
Yes, 10k gold is real. However, it is not pure gold. Instead, 10-karat gold is an alloy that is 41.7% gold and 58.3% base metal. Its content makes 10K gold a strong, durable material and generally allows pieces produced from it to be sold at lower price points than those crafted out of 14- and 18-karat gold.
