Purity and color indication of gold: What is the difference
between 24K, 22K and 18K gold? The term karat is used to measure the content or purity of gold. Before we understand the difference between 24K, 22K and 18K gold, you must know your karat. Carat is a unit used to measure the purity of gold. The more carats, the purer the gold. Here is a simple guide to understanding the difference between 24K, 22K and 18K gold.24K gold24k gold is called pure gold or 100 percent gold. This means that all 24 parts of gold are completely pure gold without any other metal markings. It is known to be 99.9 percent pure and contains a distinctive bright yellow color. There is no value of gold more than 24K, and before you go to any seller, you need to be aware that they can tell you that they are selling you 25Kor 26K gold. Since it is the purest form of gold, naturally, it is more expensive than 22Kor 18K gold. However, the density of this type of gold is lower than that of low-carat gold, making it softer and more flexible. Therefore, it is not suitable for an ordinary jewelry. Coins and bars are often purchased in 24K gold purity. 24K gold is used in electronics and medical equipment such as gold tympanostomy tubes used to attach to the ears of infected children who are known to improve air quality in the middle ear.22K gold22K gold jewelry means that 22 parts of the jewelry are gold, and the other two parts are some other metal. This type of gold is commonly used for making jewelry. Of the 100 percent of 22K gold, only 91.67 percent is pure gold. The remaining 8.33 percent are other metals such as silver, zinc, nickel and other alloys. The addition of these metals makes the gold structure harder so that the jewelry is durable. However, you must know that although this gold can be used to make jewelry, 22K gold is not good for jewelry rich in diamonds and heavy jewelry.18K gold 18K gold mixed with 75 percent gold 25 percent other metals such as copper or silver etc. Usually, heavy jewelry rich jewelry and other diamond jewelry are made of 18K gold. This type of gold is less expensive than 24K and 22K. The color of this gold is slightly dull. 18K jewelry is rather easy to recognize — you will see 18K, 18Kt, 18k or this look on an impression thing. Occasionally, the number 18K gold is imprinted with 750, 0.75, or so which is used as a symbol of 75 percent gold jewelry. How is purity calculated?In the west, karat is expressed in purity. For example, 1000 parts of 24 k gold 1000 are expressed as pure or purity 1.000. 22k in 22k is multiplied by 1000 divided by 24, which will give you a purity of 0.9166, 21 karats 21 will be multiplied by 1000 divided by 24, which will be 0.875 purity and similarly, 18 carats will be 0.750 purity. Different colors of goldThe natural bright color of pure gold of 24-carat gold and its color purity cannot be changed without changing from 24K. Other colors of gold can be made by changing the type of alloy in the jewelry. Pink gold, for example, is made by adding more copper to gold alloys. Similarly, green gold is added to zinc and silver, and white gold is added to nickel. Electro-plating can also be used to color gold. But it can only be a top beauty and will rise over time.24-carat gold contains 24 parts pure gold. Of the 22 carat gold, 22 parts are gold, and two parts of other metals are added as the alloy. 21-carat gold contains 21 parts gold and three parts of other metals. The 18-carat gold contains 18 parts of pure gold and six parts of other metals. In the west, karat is expressed in purity. For example, 24 k gold is expressed as 1000 parts of 1000 pure or purity 1.000. In the case of 22k, 22 divided by 24 is multiplied by 1000, which will give you a purity of 0.9166, 21 carats, 21 divided by 24 will be multiplied by 1000, which will be 0.875 purity and similarly, 18 carats will be 0.750 purity.24 carats = 100% carats or pure gold 22 carats = 91.7% gold 18 carat = 75.0% gold 14 carats = 58.3% gold 12 carats = 50.0% gold 10 carats = 41.7% gold
