24 karat gold - 100% Au - pure gold, very soft and very easily bent, too soft for jewelry.
Therefore the gold is alloyed with silver, copper, nickel or zinc:
22 karat gold - 91.7% Au - still too soft for most jewelry
18 karat gold - 75.0% Au - for fine jewelry, the best for beauty and durability
14 karat gold - 58.3% Au - OK for jewelry but the gold is of a duller colour
12 karat gold - 50.0% Au - not OK for most western jewelry
10 karat gold - 41.7% Au - legal limit for 'real' gold in USA
WHITE GOLD is NOT PLATINUM but is a good cheaper substitute = gold+nickel+copper+zinc.

How much gold is in gold filled?
Gold filled is a layered metal that must contain 5% karat gold by weight. The karatage of the gold content may range between 10kt - 18kt so the amount of pure gold will depend on the karatage. The most common gold filled in the US is 14kt gold-filled denoted as 14/20 GF on most hallmarks to indicate 14kt gold that is 1/20 by weight, or 5%. To calculate pure gold content take 5% of 14/24 (for 14 out of 24 karats in pure gold) = 2.92% pure gold. Gold filled is not an alloy. It is a layered product with all the gold on the surface. It helps to understand gold-filled construction in order to accurately describe the product and care for it.
