K9, K14 & K18 Gold – What do they mean and which one is ideal for jewelry?
Gold is one of the most precious and timeless metals in the world of jewelry. However, not all "gold" jewelry is the same, the indications **K9**, **K14** and **K18** determine the purity and composition of the jewelry.
? What does "K" mean in gold?
"K" comes from Karat, an indicator of the percentage of pure gold in an alloy. Pure gold is 24K (100% pure), but due to its high purity, it is mixed with other metals for durability.
