10K gold contains 41.67% pure gold — the minimum legal standard to be marketed as "gold" in the United States. Stamped with 417, 10K, or 10KT, it's widely used in affordable jewelry chains, fashion pieces, and children's jewelry.

10K is the most durable common gold alloy because its higher proportion of base metals (copper, silver, zinc) makes it harder and more resistant to scratching. It's also the most affordable entry point for real gold jewelry.
