10K gold wire is a type of jewelry wire made from an alloy that is 10 parts gold and 14 parts other metals. This composition makes it 41.7% pure gold. The other metals added to the alloy are typically copper, silver, zinc, and nickel, which contribute to the wire's durability, color, and affordability.

Tips on caring for your jewelry
- Care for and protect your jewelry can make a world of difference in maintaining its beauty and keeping them sparkling for generations to come.
- Exposure to chemicals can damage or discolor metals – gold, silver, and titanium – and may harm some colored gems.
- Even everyday substances like hairspray, lotion, perfume or other cosmetics can contain chemicals that will permanently damage the surface of your pearls and other delicate or porous gems (like turquoise).
- The jewelry should be removed before diving into a chlorinated swimming pool or before using household cleaners.
- Many of these cleaners contain ammonia, which can be too harsh for delicate gems or vintage jewelry. Chlorine bleach, another common household solvent, can pit or damage your jewelry.
