No. 24k is 'pure' gold.
Better to lose a 9k gold ring than a 18k one ! 18k is purer gold than 9k.

If the case is marked as karat gold, yes. That would be 10K, 14K, 18K. There may be some marked 9K. Most are not solid gold. They are marked RGP, (rolled gold plate), or 1/20th 14k which is one quality of gold fill.
.925 is a marking for silver, not gold. Therefore what you most likely have is gold plated over sterling silver. Gold is marked 9K, 10K, 14K, 18K etc.
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.
In "9k medium," the "9k" refers to a gold purity level of 9 karats. This means that the gold content is 37.5% pure gold, with the rest being made up of other metals to strengthen and color the gold.
For most of the countries, jeweler are required to stamped the jewelry with 9k / 10k / 14k/ 18k / 22K / 24K to show the gold contents! The greater the gold contents, the greater the value!

A marking of "925" typically indicates sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. Gold jewelry will typically be marked with "9K," "14K," "18K," or "24K" to indicate the purity of the gold.
