Which is the purest gold 10k, 14k, or 18k?

Answer 1

actually 24k is PURE gold, then 18k would be the next, 14k, then 10k and actually there is 8k(not very popular, not enough gold) The K mark on gold represents the amount of actual gold. To give you an example: have you ever seen something marked 10k and/or also marked 417? 10k gold has 41.7% pure gold in it, the rest is made up of other metals. 14k gold(or 585) is 58.5% pure gold. Also, the more pure the gold is, the softer it will be. You can bend 24k gold with your hands! Most people choose 10k because it is more solid and generally costs less than 14k or 18k...

Answer 2

Among the 3, 10K has the lowest gold content. 10K is 41.% gold, 14K is 58.5% gold and 18K is 75% gold. Pure gold is 24K. When mixed with alloy, it reduces its gold content. An 18K gold mens it is 75% gold and 25% alloy, etc. Among the 3, 18K will be the more expensive and is used in a more high end jewelry. 18K is softer than 14K and 10K because of its higher gold content. The alloy that is being mixed in the gold makes the metal stronger.

Purest Gold

Answer 5

I think it's 18k because the number tells how much gold is in the mixture. 24k is the purest that they make jewelry out of but I think it's soft so it breaks easily so you don't see it much in the US.
