1:Pure gold is bright yellow, soft, shiny and malleable. For jewelry production, it is mixed with other metals, in varying proportions, to add strength. The amount of other metals in proportion to pure gold is indicated with numbers, like 916, or karats, ranging from 24 to 10.
2:The purer the gold, the more expensive the gold. Gold that is a high Karat, like 24kt or 22kt, is more expensive than 14kt. Gold marked 916 is 22kt gold, and priced at that level.

The difference between the different types of gold is in the purity of the gold. The karat weight of gold is measured by a gold's purity, with 24 karat gold being pure gold. Therefore, 22 karat gold would have a purity of 22/24 or 91.7 percent, 18 karat gold would have a purity of 18/24 or 75 percent, 14 karat gold would have a purity of 14/24 or 50 percent and 10 karat gold would have a purity of 10/24 or 41.6 percent. As the purity of gold decreases, the alloy in the jewelry increases. Copper and silver are the most common alloys used when making gold jewelry and white gold is usually made with a nickel alloy. The higher karat weight a gold piece of jewelry has, the more valuable that piece of jewelry will be.
