Is 10K gold real gold?

Yes. 10K gold is 41.7% pure gold alloyed with other metals, so it is real gold but less pure than 14K or 18K.

Will the 10K gold tarnish?

10K gold resists tarnish better than plated jewelry, but the alloy metals can dull over time. Keep it away from perfume, chlorine and lotions.

It comes on an 18-inch chain, a common length that sits near the collarbone.

It works as a confirmation, baptism or holiday gift, especially for someone who wants a small gold cross rather than a large statement piece.

14K gold is more pure and has a richer yellow color, but it costs noticeably more. This 10K piece is the budget choice.

Jewelry discounts cluster around Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Black Friday and Christmas. Compare the price against its recent range before buying.
