A device called an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer is commonly used to measure the purity and composition of gold. This instrument emits X-rays onto the gold sample, which causes the atoms to emit characteristic fluorescent X-rays. By analyzing the energy and intensity of these X-rays, the instrument can determine the gold content accurately.
Gold itself is an element. All of the gold you are likely to see (rings, watches, plating, etc.) is an alloy (mixture) of gold and other metals. Even "pure gold" jewellery (24 k) is only +99.9% pure

Pure diamonds are typically 99.95% carbon, making them essentially 100% pure. Diamonds are not measured in karats like gold; instead, their quality is assessed based on the four Cs: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight.
Karat numbers indicate the purity of the gold in a 24 point scale. 24 karats is pure gold, 18k is 18 parts out of 24, or 75% gold, and so on.
The purity of gold ore is typically measured in karats, with 24 karats being pure gold. Assuming the gold ore is 24 karats, you will obtain approximately 0.9999 grams of pure gold from 1 gram of gold ore.
Pure silver is not measured in karats like gold. Silver is typically described in terms of its purity, which is often expressed as a percentage. Pure silver is 99.9% pure, also known as .999 fine silver.
The purity of gold used in jewelry is denoted by karats. Pure gold is 24 karats, but most jewelry is made from 18 karat (75% pure), 14 karat (58.3% pure), or 10 karat (41.7% pure) gold.
