Gold purity is measured in karats based on 24 karats being pure gold. 18k means the gold is 18 out of 24 karats pure: 18 parts gold to 6 parts alloy. 9k means the gold is of low purity, only 9 parts gold to 15 parts alloy. The letter k after a number normally means "thousand" when your talking about gold, silver, etc. It is normally used in games like runescape etc.

What does the number 9 stamped inside your ring?

It means that the ring is made from 9k gold 9 does not mean a ring is 9k unless there 1s a "k" involved I have never seen a ring that was designated 9k/ Usually you will see 10,12.14,18 or 24k unless the ring was custom crafted at 9k. It is more than likely 9 is the ring size. Hope this is helpful!

If the case is marked as karat gold, yes. That would be 10K, 14K, 18K. There may be some marked 9K. Most are not solid gold. They are marked RGP, (rolled gold plate), or 1/20th 14k which is one quality of gold fill.
