Gold karat 18 refers to gold that is 18 parts pure gold and 6 parts other metals, out of a total of 24 parts. This corresponds to a gold purity of 75%. The term "karat" is used to express the purity of gold, with 24 karats being the highest level of purity.

The addition of alloying metals in 18 karat gold makes it more suitable for items like rings, bracelets, and other jewelry that are subjected to daily wear and tear. The lower gold content also imparts a different color to the metal compared to higher karat gold, often resulting in a slightly less intense yellow color.
