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.
9k is different from 18k or 24k because 24k is pure gold and 18k and 9k have more metals in them so that helps the become more endurable. but if you want pure metal get 24k
