Gold jewelry is admired for its shine, strength, and elegance, but what many people don’t realize is that each gold purity—9K, 14K, 18K, and 22K—requires its own unique manufacturing approach. The metal behaves differently at each karat level, and only an advanced manufacturer like DVN Jewelry can master these variations to deliver flawless quality.
In this blog, we explore how DVN crafts different karatages using specialized techniques, technology, and craftsmanship.
Understanding Gold Karat Levels
Gold purity affects not just color, but also strength, flexibility, melting point, and workability.
| Karat |
Gold % |
Characteristics |
| 9K |
37.5% |
Very strong, affordable, ideal for lightweight jewelry |
| 14K |
58.5% |
Brighter than 9K, durable, perfect for daily wear |
| 18K |
75% |
Luxurious color, softer than 14K, used for designer pieces |
| 22K |
91.6% |
Deep yellow tone, softer metal, ideal for traditional jewelry |
Because each alloy behaves differently, the manufacturing technique must match the karat—this is where DVN’s expertise shines.
