Karatage refers to the amount of pure gold in a piece of jewelry. 24K is 100% gold and absolutely pure, so it is often combined with other metals to make it exceptionally strong. 18K is 75% pure gold and is recognized as the ultimate performance metal by the finest jewelry and watch brands. 14K contains 58.3% gold and is the most popular choice in the United States. Anything below 10K cannot legally be called gold jewelry in this country.
