16 KT would not be considered pure gold as it would still have additives or alloys like copper mixed in with it. Pure gold would be 24KT which is 99.9 % pure.

Is 12 kt british gold consider to be gold filled or pure gold An friend of my Brother's is trying to sell a piece of jewelry which is 100 years old has mine cut diamonds in it and it 12 kt gold?
PURE gold is almost never used in jewelry- too soft. Pure gold is 24 Karat. Jewelry is typically 10-16K. Gold filled is an outer jacket of gold, with an inner filling of base metal (non gold). It might be marked at 16K GF, or GFE. Free advice- meet the seller at a jeweler or pawn shop of YOUR choosing, and ask THEM what it is worth. Impossible for us to appraise something at long distance.
