If you wear your jewellery every day — to work, to the gym, in the kitchen — 9KT gold is engineered for the way you actually live.
Hardness Comparison (Vickers Scale)
| Metal | Hardness |
|---|---|
| 9KT Gold | ~130 HV |
| 14KT Gold | ~120 HV |
| 18KT Gold | ~110 HV |
| 22KT Gold | ~70 HV |
9KT is the hardest karat of yellow gold — almost twice as hard as 22KT — which means your prongs hold diamonds tighter and your band resists denting.
Real-World Benefits
- Prongs don't bend or splay — your diamond stays put.
- Bands don't deform when squeezed.
- Surface polishes hold longer between services.
- ~50% lower metal cost frees up budget for a better diamond.
The Same Look, A Smarter Build
All our 9KT pieces are colour-matched to look identical to 18KT — yellow, white, or rose. The difference is invisible to the eye but very real in the long run.
