Gold purity is measured in karats based on 24 karats being pure gold. 18k means the gold is 18 out of 24 karats pure: 18 parts gold to 6 parts alloy. 9k means the gold is of low purity, only 9 parts gold to 15 parts alloy.
The letter k after a number normally means "thousand" when your talking about gold, silver, etc. It is normally used in games like runescape etc.
