10ct / kt / karat gold is a purity of gold often seen in the USA. It is an alloy mix of 41.7% gold by weight, and 58.3% of other metals. This ratio makes 10ct a popular choice for hard wearing gold jewellery.
In the UK, 10ct is not a purity recognised by our assay offices. Therefore, if you send an item of 10ct gold for hallmarking, it will be stamped as 9ct gold.
10ct gold is 41.7% pure gold, whereas 9ct is only 37.5%. The underlying commodity value of 10 carat is, therefore, higher, and it is 'better' in this respect.
On the other hand, UK hallmarking legislation doesn't recognise 10ct as a standard purity. When buying jewellery in the UK, it is better to purchase hallmarked 9ct gold, as it's your guarantee the item contains the required amount of gold.
As you read this, the live 'spot' price for 1 gram of 10 carat gold is £30.88. Gold Traders currently offer a very competitive £28.74 per gram of 10ct gold.

You will probably come across other dealers who quote their 'scrap' prices at surprisingly similar rates to the live metal price. Be very wary of sending your items to a dealer who only quotes the live price. Please remember the dealer is looking to make a profit, and they will have their overheads to cover. You will never receive the live metal price for scrap gold, silver, platinum or palladium from any dealer.
If you read their small print very carefully, you'll likely discover that the 'price' they quote online isn't a genuine indication of what you're likely to receive. These dealers can offer you between 40% - 60% of the actual value of your items.
If you find prices better than ours, let us know! We'll always aim to match it or help you to spot any hidden fees that other companies may try to hide.
