24K is 99.9% gold and is considered "pure gold"
22K is 91.3% is gold
etc...
The way karats works is:
each K is 1/24 part gold. So, 24K is 24/24 parts but 22K is only 22/24 parts. 18K is 18/24 parts and 10K is only 10/24 parts gold with 14/24 parts anything else.
24K isn't always "better" though. Gold is soft and some things need to be hard due to their intended use. A 24K ring will be easily damaged for example while a 10K will hold up to considerable wear.
