For the Counter
What retailers should know.
The workhorse alloy
More alloy metal means more scratch resistance. Chains, bracelets, and daily-wear pieces in 10KT come back for repair less often than their 14KT equivalents.
The entry price point
At 41.7% purity, the gold content in a 10KT piece costs roughly seven-tenths of the same piece in 14KT. That difference is what lets a case carry real gold under the price ceilings younger buyers shop to.
Mind the color
Less gold in the alloy reads paler. Put 10KT and 18KT side by side under case lighting and the difference shows — merchandise them in separate trays.
These figures are the value of the fine gold in the alloy — not a quote. A finished piece adds stones, labour, and finishing, and your price is set when you open an account and quote real pieces.
The Specifics · 10KT
10KT gold, answered straight.
What is the wholesale price of 10KT gold per gram?
As of October 8, 2026, the gold-content value of 10KT is $55.43 USD per gram — the Kitco gold ask of $4134.80/ozt converted at 41.7% purity over the exact troy ounce of 31.1034768 g. This is the value of the metal itself, not a quote for finished jewelry.
How is the 10KT per-gram price calculated?
Spot per troy ounce ÷ 31.1034768 g × 0.4170 purity. It is the same conversion Clazoire's quote engine uses, published with the capture date (October 8, 2026) so the number is verifiable — and it is not a quote: finished pieces add stones, labour, and finishing.
Is 10KT gold worth stocking for a small retailer?
If your counter sells everyday gold under tight price ceilings, yes — 10KT is the most durable published alloy at the lowest gold cost. Open a wholesale account and price real pieces against it.
How often do these numbers update?
The published rate refreshes every 24 hours from the Kitco gold ask, and every figure on this page carries its capture date (currently October 8, 2026). If a rate fetch ever fails, we show the last verified rate with its own older date — never an undated number.
