Very tricky! No, 24 Carat gold is not pure gold, but a diamond of that weight would be impressive indeed. Carat with a 'C' is a weight measure used for gemstones. Karat with a K, as you will see stamped somewhere on almost all gold jewelry, is a measure of the proportion of gold that is in the solid piece. 24 Karat gold is pure gold, and so 8k gold is 1/3 gold, 16, gold is 2/3 gold, and 12k gold is 50% gold.

∙ 7y agoA karat signifies how pure gold is and the higher it is the more gold there is. Pure gold, which is 100%, is too soft to use so it often has other metals mixed in to make more durable. 18 karat gold has 75% gold and 22k gold has 91.67%.
