The pure gold we often say is 99.99% gold, which is 24K gold.And 18K gold is gold with a gold content of 75%, so it is also gold.
In developed countries such as Europe, the jewelry you usually buy is 18K gold, because 25% of other metals are added to 18K gold. And the other metals are in proper proportions, they can show a brighter color and higher hardness than 24K gold,so making jewelry or watches more difficult to deform, more shiny, and never change color. Moreover, because the metal ratio is a complex process that requires high skills, the value of 18K gold is often higher than that of 24K gold. If a piece of jewelry comes from a famous craftsman, its value is even higher.
