24K, as this is supposed to be pure gold, and 18K is about 75% pure. The more pure the gold alloy is, the higher the value.

Note: In the English use in America and Canada, Karat is a measure of purity, and carat is a measure of weight of gemstones. This spelling is not always the same in other uses of the words in other locations.

obviously 24 karat gold is better,as it equates to 100 percent fineness, but nobody can make 24 karat jewellery as it has to be turned into an alloy and then it can be used for making ornaments,as fineness increase this metal turns softer and softer.

14K Gold is 14 parts gold and 10 parts other metals

24K gold is 24 parts gold (out of 24 parts)

as 24K has a higher gold content, if you have the same weight of both metals, than the 24K gold will be more valuable.

10 grams of 14K is worth the same as 5.833 grams of 24K

10 karat gold is a combination of gold and other metals that is actually less than half gold. Because of that the value of 10 Karat gold is going to be much less than 'bullion' gold, probably as little as 25% of bullion gold because of the effort necessary to reclaim for pure gold from the mixture. I say that ten carrot gold is worth 60 to 1oo dollars
