How do you understand what the karat is in gold?
You'll need either the karat value (amount), or the gold's purity (one of these two is often stamped on the gold). The purity is usually stamped in parts per thousand, so (for example) 800 gold (.800) is 800 parts per thousand (4/5). The karat amount is in parts per 24, so (for example) 14 k. gold is 14/24 pure (58.33 %), 18 karat gold is 18/24 pure (3/4), and so on. 24 karat gold is 100% pure. To convert from karats to percent, multiply the karat-number of the gold by 0.04167. See the attached Related Link.
