9KT Jewellery
What does 9KT gold mean in jewellery?
9KT gold contains 9 parts pure gold out of 24, which is 37.5% gold, hallmarked as 375. The remaining alloy metals make it harder and more scratch-resistant than higher karats, which is why Everlite uses it for lightweight, everyday designs at a lower entry price.
Yes. 9KT is genuine gold alloy with 37.5% pure gold content. In India, 9KT was added to BIS hallmarking in 2025, so a hallmarked 9KT piece carries the 375 purity mark and a HUID code you can verify on the BIS CARE app.
Choose 9KT for the lowest price and highest durability, 14KT (58.5%) for a balance of richer colour and strength, and 18KT (75%) when you want deeper gold tone and diamond settings with more gold value. For daily office or college wear on a budget, 9KT is the practical pick.
9KT does not rust and stays wearable for years, but its higher alloy content can dull slightly with sweat, perfume and chlorine. A wipe with a soft cloth and occasional mild soap wash restores shine; store pieces separately in a pouch.
Yes, value is calculated on its 37.5% gold content at the prevailing gold rate, so it is lower per gram than 22KT. Check Everlite's current exchange and buyback terms at a Senco store before purchase. [Client to confirm policy]
Everlite's 9KT range covers chains, pendants, rings, earrings, bracelets, bangles, mangalsutras, necklaces, nose pins and wristlets, in both plain gold and diamond-studded options – filterable by price from below ₹10,000.
Most people wear 9KT comfortably. Because it has more alloy metal, those with known metal sensitivities may prefer 14KT or 18KT, which contain more gold. If unsure, start with studs or a pendant that has less skin contact.
