yes I'm no expert butI think the higher the carats the softer the gold, as the 9ct is mixed with other stronger metals . I have a largeish chunky fancy 22ct gold necklace which cost $450 USD in BAli and worth $2000 here , but it is quite soft & heavy and the clasp a bit weak, so I don't wear it much - last time ( ladies only story follows, lol ) put it on while I was sitting at the dressing table doing makeup and when I stood up it fell straight down my cleavage and on through to the floor .. ! Not sure what the moral of that story is but thought you might enjoy it :-)
