Gold is measures in 24ths.
10k gold is 10 parts gold to 14 parts "filler".
14k gold is 14 parts gold to 10 parts "filler".
18k gold is 18 parts gold to 6 parts "filler".
24k gold is all gold. (Impurities will exist.)
The filler is usually nickel in North America (which is why those with nickel Allergies have trouble wearing gold of lower quality than about 18k). In Europe, silver is often used as the filler. Other fillers can be zinc, lead, or anything else. I'm not aware of anyone using stainless steel as the filler material.
