9 Karat vs. 14 Karat vs. 18 Karat Gold: Understanding the differences
Share
The difference between 9, 14, and 18 karat gold lies primarily in their composition and purity. Karats represent the proportion of pure gold in an alloy out of a total of 24 parts. Therefore, 9 karat gold contains 37.5% pure gold, 14 karat gold contains 58.3% pure gold and 18 karat gold contains 75% pure gold. This discrepancy in purity affects not only the color and appearance of the gold but also its durability and value.
18 karat gold tends to have an even richer color and is more resistant to tarnishing or scratching compared to 9 or 14. Consequently, jewelry made from 18 karat gold is often considered of the highest quality and commands a premium price in the market.
In all of our jewelry, there is a hallmark indicating the karats you have chosen, which reads '375' for 9 karats , '585' for 14 karats and '750' for 18 karats.
