14K, 18K, 9ct are the most popular you will also see 585 for 14k gold and 750 for 18k.
14k gold is 14 parts gold mixed with 10 parts other (cheaper) metal (58.3 % gold) 18k gold is 18 parts gold mixed with 6 parts other metal (75% gold) So 18k is more expensive than 14k
The price fluctuation of gold and that the gold can be 14k 18k 24k or some other percentage of gold makes an answer difficult. At 14k the gold is worth 60 % of it weigh at the current gold exchange rate 18K 75% and 24k 100%. 4 grams is 1/7 of an ounce only when the gold is 24K
No 18k shines more because its more pure gold

Standard 18K gold is a slightly different color than 14k gold due to its increase in purity. Both contain certain amounts of copper and silver which alter the gold color.
All legitimate gold will be stamped as to the amount of gold in them. 14k gold does not have quite as much as 18k but is not as delicate. Also, gold is NOT magnetic.
Gold can be both soft and hard depending on how pure it is, pure gold (24K) is softer than a gold alloy. And the lower the number the harder it is. 10K is harder than 14K, 14K is harder than 18K, and 18K is harder than 24K (pure gold).
While 24K is solid gold and 18K gold has other alloys. These alloys are to increase the strength of the material and thus its durability. So if you are looking for jewellery then 18K would be best but if you are looking for investment then you should go for 24k gold.-Kathana jewellers24K is solid goldnapolean
Well, 14k cost more that 10k in purity and if weight more; and 18k cost more in purity and if weight more that 14k. Sincerely: Living Life Enterprises.
