Gold has fascinated humanity for thousands of years. Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, jewellery manufacturers sought alloys offering genuine gold content, durability, affordability, and attractive appearance. 10ct gold emerged as one of the most successful solutions, becoming particularly popular throughout North America.
