22k gold is 92% pure gold, whereas 24k would be 100% gold. As gold is extremely soft and malleable pure gold does not make good jewelry.
Jewelers add small amounts of other metals, such as copper or nickel to strengthen the piece and make it last longer.

24 karat gold is pure gold. So, 18 kt gold is 18/24th's pure or roughly 75% pure gold. If Gold is selling for $1000 an ounce, $750 an ounce might be a fair price for 18 Kt gold. Much of the gold used in jewelry though has other materials that are valuable. Platinum is in much of this gold (as an example).
