Karat (K) measures the purity of gold, with 24K being pure gold. Therefore, 18K gold contains 75% gold and 25% other metals, while 14K gold has 58.3% gold. Specifically, 8K gold consists of 33.3% gold, with the remainder being alloyed metals. The lower the karat, the less pure the gold, which affects its color, durability, and price.
