Karats which is what the K stands for it is the measurement used to inform the purity of the gold. Pure gold is 24K, most gold, is a mixture of gold and other metals.

Gold is soft and some things need to be hard due to their intended use. A 24K ring will be easily damaged for example while a 10K will hold up to considerable wear.
