Gold has always held a certain weight. A symbol. Value. But the truth is, not all “gold” jewellery is created equal and not all of it is as real as it seems.
Let’s talk about what solid gold actually means and where our 6K Solid Gold fits in.
Solid Gold: The Real Deal
When jewellers talk about solid gold, they’re referring to metal that’s gold all the way through. No plating, no layers, no filling.
Solid gold jewellery is crafted from an alloy: a blend of real gold and other metals that add strength and colour.
This is where karatage (K) comes in.
Understanding Karatage
Pure gold is 24 karats — 24 parts out of 24, or 100% gold.
But pure gold is soft. Too soft to wear every day. That’s why jewellers mix it with other metals like silver, copper or zinc to make it more durable.
Here’s how the math works:
-
18K gold = 75% pure gold
-
14K gold = 58.3% pure gold
-
9K gold = 37.5% pure gold
- 6K gold = 25% pure gold
Introducing 6K Solid Gold: A New Standard
Our Original 6K Solid Gold Alloy contains 25% pure gold. That’s 6 parts out of 24.
It’s solid, not plated. It’s real, not imitation.
It’s designed for a new generation of jewellery lovers who care about what they wear and where it comes from, but who also value accessibility and smart design.
Because when a piece is made with 25% gold through and through, it’s authentically gold, not an illusion of it.
Every piece from Quarter Carat is crafted consciously, using recycled gold and ethical practices because true value goes deeper than karat numbers.
