16 KT would not be considered pure gold as it would still have additives or alloys like copper mixed in with it. Pure gold would be 24KT which is 99.9 % pure.

What does 16k-14GE stamped on inside ring mean?

The marking "16k-14GE" on the inside of a ring indicates that the piece is made of 16 karat gold, which consists of 66.67% pure gold, and the "14GE" denotes that it is gold electroplated with 14 karat gold. This means that while the ring has a significant amount of gold, it is not entirely solid gold; rather, it has a base metal coated with a layer of gold. The "GE" stands for gold electroplate, which reflects the method used to apply the gold layer.

Is 12 kt british gold consider to be gold filled or pure gold An friend of my Brother's is trying to sell a piece of jewelry which is 100 years old has mine cut diamonds in it and it 12 kt gold?

PURE gold is almost never used in jewelry- too soft. Pure gold is 24 Karat. Jewelry is typically 10-16K. Gold filled is an outer jacket of gold, with an inner filling of base metal (non gold). It might be marked at 16K GF, or GFE. Free advice- meet the seller at a jeweler or pawn shop of YOUR choosing, and ask THEM what it is worth. Impossible for us to appraise something at long distance.

What is the highest carat gold you can buy?

Gold is measured in karats whereas gems are measured in carats. The higher the karat the more pure the gold is. You can buy whatever karat you it just depends on your location, eastern countries and Indian sell 20k to 24k gold whereas in the US the most popular is 14k you can tho find 16k and 18k. Pure gold is 24K, but as you go to higher K gold, you also get softer material, which is easily damaged through normal usage.
