Platinum is more expensive than gold but it is not beautiful.
because gold has more mass than water and therefore, gravity pushes harder on gold than water.
10 karat is stronger because of its alloy ratio and 18 has a better shine and color, so what you have is a strong necklace that shines like pure gold.
From its name of 18 carat gold you can tell, if it is truly 18 carat gold, that there is 18/24ths gold and 6/24ths of another metal, possibly copper or platinum. 18 carat gold is (18/24)x100= 75% gold.
No is actually harder 24k gold is in he's pure form 18k gold have a % of alloys to make it harder.
there are 24 parts that make up pure gold. so 9 carats is 9 parts gold and 15 parts of another material so 9 parts gold to 24 parts is 37.5% gold. were 18 carat is 18 parts gold to 24 parts of another material or 75% gold. thus the difference is in the amount of gold in the ring. there is also a difference in the color of the gold pieces. the 9 carat gold is lighter than the 18 carat.
18 carat is better than 14 carat. 24 carat is pure gold. 18 out of 24 is 75% gold the rest is made up of silver.

There is more gold in 18 karat gold (approx 70%) than in 14 karat gold (only 50% gold) making 18 karat gold more valuable. However gold is a soft metal so the higher the gold content the less durable the jewelery. Therefore depending on the use one may prefer 14 karat gold, for something like a chain that needs to be more durable than say earrings.
the higher the number the better
no
24K is pure gold. Any number smaller than that means less gold and more alloy metals. Alloy metals are mixed with gold to make it harder. Pure gold would be so soft that it would deform or get scratches and nicks in it.
18 caret goldAnswer:The concept of "better" with regard to gold is difficult to establish. A higher caret number means purer not better. The caret ratings around 1o are more durable (less subject to wear) and are better for rings.
Platinum is usually 1/3 heavier than 18 karat gold and also is more expensive than gold.
because gold has more mass than water and therefore, gravity pushes harder on gold than water.
Yes, a 18 K gold has less of other metals with the gold. Gold is a soft ore and in a thin band will bend or break easier than a 14K gold band will.
There is no 18 Karat gold in an ounce of 24 Karat gold because 24 Karat gold is pure. 18 Karat gold is alloyed with another metal to make it wear longer. There are approx. 31.1 grams of 24 karat gold in a troy oz. A troy oz. is smaller than a regular oz. It would take more than 31.1 grams of 18 Karat gold to equal the pure gold content of 1 oz. of 24 Karat gold.
