The KT in gold relates to the Purity, the lower the KT the less gold is in it..

24k is pure gold, 18k is 75% gold, 14k is 58.5% gold, etc. Gold is mixed with alloy metals to give it strength, since pure 24k is rather too soft for jewelry. The type of metal alloy used will give gold different colors, such as rose gold, yellow gold, or white gold.

Naturally, the karat of the gold also affects its value. You can find out how much gold is worth for different karats from the Related Link below.
