What is a Carat?

A Carat is a measure of the purity of gold with pure gold being 24 carats. It is oftened confused with weight however it refers to the percentage of gold within an item.

​

For example, 9ct Gold contains 37.5% pure gold along with other elements sure as silver & copper. Whereas,

18ct Gold contains 75% pure gold and therefore is more durable and longer lasting than 9ct Gold. Due to the amount of gold percentage, 18ct gold will generally have a richer colour than 9ct gold.

​

Therefore due to its longevity & colour, we use 18ct Gold for all our engagement rings. However if you wish to have any of our designs in 9ct Gold please just get in touch.
