which is more pure gold 22k or 24k?

Answer 1

Pure gold, or 24-karat, is generally considered too soft for use in jewelry, so it is alloyed with other metals to increase its strength. Eighteen-karat gold is 18/24ths, or three-quarters pure gold. Jewelry of this fineness is marked "18k" or "750," the European designation meaning 75 percent gold.

In the United States, 14-karat gold is used most commonly for jewelry. Fourteen-karat gold is 14/24ths, or slightly more than one-half pure gold. Jewelry of this fineness is marked "14k" or "585," the European designation meaning 58.5 percent gold.

Karat: When we say 24kt or 24k Gold jewelry, we mean that all the 24 parts in the gold are just pure gold without traces of any other metal(s) or 99.9 percent pure. When we say 22kt or 22k Gold Jewelry we mean that 22 parts of the jewelry, is gold and the balance 2 parts are some other metal(s) or equal to 91.3 percent gold plus 8.6 percent of some other metal alloy When we say 18Kt or 18k Gold Jewelry, we mean that 18 parts of the jewelry is gold and the balance 6 parts is some other metal or equal to about 75 percent gold plus 25 percent of some other metal alloy

Answer 2

Regarding gold's purity, 24K is closest to pure gold; 23K and 22K are next in order. 22K is probably popular mostly in Asia; whereas 10K-14K is definitely popular in the USA. To look at the chemical makeup of gold, you'd need to consult an objective gold or metallurgist website. The difference between 22K and 24K is 22k is stronger (because another metal is added to it, in a small amount for strength) than 24K. And of course 24K is worth more on the world market than 22K because of its near purity.
