Understanding 9K Gold
9 karat gold (9ct in the UK) contains 37.5% pure gold and 62.5% other metals, mostly silver and copper. It carries the 375 hallmark, the lowest gold standard UK hallmarking recognises. In the UK, Ireland and Australia it's the everyday karat for wedding bands, signet rings, chains and earrings. In the US, the minimum for karat gold is 10K, so 9K is rare in American stores.
To calculate the 9K gold price, multiply the current 24K spot price per gram by 0.375. If pure gold trades at $100 per gram, 9K gold has a metal value of $37.50 per gram. That's the raw melt value, before any retail markup or making charges.
With less gold than any other common karat, 9K is the cheapest solid gold and one of the hardest, so it stands up to daily wear. The tradeoff is a paler yellow than 14K or 18K, and the high share of copper and silver means some 9K pieces darken slightly over time. A polish brings them back.
