What is the difference between a 9 carat ring and an 18 carat ring?
JamesHepenstall11
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.
