OUR 10K GOLD COLLECTION
Estate & Antique Jewelry Items crafted of 10K gold for increased strength and durability...
10K gold has a bad rap. QVC and other mass marketers have used it to replicate antique jewelry styles and sell them cheap. But that is what they are, cheap stones, cheaply made settings and cheap workmanship.
The estate and antique pieces were crafted of 10K gold as it is more durable for certain bezel and prong settings, stronger to hold the precious stone longer and more secure.
The difference in 10K gold and 14K gold is not noticeable in the estate jewelry pieces as the alloys were carefully composed.
Because of the reputation we have to sell the 10K antique jewelry a bit cheaper but that means you get a bargain as the gems are still of the best quality, one of the reason for using more durable 10K gold in the first place.
