Gold Nose Studs

Wholesale Nose Studs & Jewellery Made of 14 Karat Gold

The Differences Between 9K, 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K

Pure 24 Karat is rarely used for jewellery such as gold nose studs because of its softness. To help strengthen the material, its pure form is alloyed with other metals producing a variety of different Karats such as the popular 18K, 14K, 10K and 9K.

The Karat system is used to determine the amount of gold present in the alloyed material. 18 Karat means that it has a ratio of 18/24 gold, which translates to 75% purity. 14 Karat contains 14/24 of the pure material, which is 58.5%, whereas, 9 Karat has a ratio of 9/24 which is 37.5%. 14 Karat is typically mixed with zinc, copper, and nickel to improve its durability and colour. 10 Karat contains at least 41.7% of the pure material and the remainder being other alloys similar to the other ones mentioned above.

There are also other Karat versions namely 22K, 18K, 10K, and even 9K. Although 22 Karat and 18 Karat are purer versions, they are most commonly reserved for high-end body jewellery pieces. These purities are less likely to tarnish in comparison to 9 Karat and 14 Karat.

Silver piercing jewellery such as sterling silver nose studs is often coated with 18 Karat to make it stronger. 14 Karat is perfectly suitable for nose piercings such as wholesale nose studs and other body jewellery because it is less likely to tarnish than 9 Karat. It can also be used for piercings on body parts that tend to move a lot or have thicker skin.

When looked from afar, 14 Karat gold nose piercing jewellery seems similar in colour to 18 Karat, but 14 Karat is slightly less yellow. However, the factors of low cost, high durability, and similar aesthetics of 14 Karat make it a popular choice for wholesale nose studs and other body jewellery. 9 and 10 Karat body jewellery items which are popular choices for customers on a budget as they are both more durable and cheaper. This alloy contains the least amount of pure gold, but what it lacks in purity it makes up for in toughness and affordability.

Just as is the case with yellow, the white and rose variations are popular choices for body jewellery.

One of the Most Desirable Materials for Body Jewellery

Wholesale gold nose studs in the UK are made of various types of gold and available as rose, yellow 14K and white gold nose studs. Each type contains a different selection and amount of alloys and offers customers a different style. The precious metal has not only been an important material for coinage but also for all kinds of body jewellery.

Most types of metal are grey or silvery white, whereas this metal has a slightly reddish yellow hue that glistens in light. The material is used for adornment, especially for gold nose piercing jewellery. It’s highly malleable, ductile, and corrosion-resistant. The high corrosion resistance allows it to have a long sustainable store value and its distinctive appearance adds high appeal to body jewellery.

Pure 24 Karat is not generally used for body jewellery, as it is too soft and pliable and therefore, it can easily get scratched or dented during everyday use. In the piercing industry, the material is typically mixed with other alloys to improve its strength and durability. It can be also coated on other metals to make it more accessible to wearers by reducing the cost.

The high corrosion resistance allows it to have a long sustainable store value.
