9ct vs 14ct vs 18ct Gold Grillz: Which Gold Should You Choose?
Share
Choosing between 9ct, 14ct and 18ct gold is one of the biggest specification decisions when ordering custom grillz. The karat or carat rating describes how much pure gold is present in the alloy.
9ct gold grillz
9ct gold contains 37.5% pure gold. It can provide a more accessible entry point into solid-gold custom grillz while still allowing different colours and finishes depending on the alloy.
14ct gold grillz
14ct gold contains 58.5% pure gold. It sits between 9ct and 18ct in gold content and is a popular specification for jewellery where buyers want a richer gold content without moving to 18ct.
18ct gold grillz
18ct gold contains 75% pure gold. Its higher gold content generally produces a richer gold character and a higher material cost.
Which should you choose?
There is no single best option for every customer. Your budget, preferred colour, design, tooth count and whether stones will be set into the piece all influence the right specification. For diamond-heavy designs, the overall construction and setting plan should be considered alongside the metal choice.
Before ordering, make sure the quoted specification clearly states the gold purity. If you are comparing budgets, read our UK custom grillz price guide. You can also browse Noir Flare's custom Grillz collection.
