What Is 9ct Gold?
9ct (9 carat) gold contains 37.5% pure gold, stamped with the hallmark 375. In Commonwealth countries (UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland), it's the most commonly sold jewelry karat — found in high street chains, signet rings, earrings, and everyday bracelets.
A note on spelling: "Carat" is the correct spelling in the UK and Australia when referring to gold purity. In the US, the same measurement is spelled "karat." They are identical in meaning — 9ct = 9K = 37.5% pure gold.
9ct gold's affordability makes it accessible, but it still holds real scrap value. The UK and Australian jewelry markets generate enormous quantities of 9ct scrap gold — making it the most commonly sold karat at gold dealers.
