Gold karat is one of the most misunderstood terms in jewellery, and getting it wrong can cost you.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Here's the short answer: <strong>karat (K) measures how much pure gold is in a piece of jewellery<\/strong>, expressed out of 24 parts. So 18K gold contains 18 parts pure gold and 6 parts other metals. 24K is 100% pure gold. The higher the karat, the more gold \u2014 but as you'll see, more gold doesn't always mean better jewellery.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">At Provence, we work primarily with 14K and 18K gold because we believe these two karats offer the best combination of beauty, durability, and lasting value for everyday fine jewellery. Here's everything you need to know to shop with confidence.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element elementor-element-e2d8913 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e2d8913\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a097bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a097bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Does Karat Mean in Gold?

It describes the ratio of pure gold to other metals in an alloy, measured on a scale from 0 to 24.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Pure gold \u2014 24K \u2014 is 99.9% gold. It's deep orange-yellow in colour, heavy, and extraordinarily soft. In its pure form, it bends and scratches with almost no effort, which is why jewellers rarely use it for wearable pieces. Instead, they mix it with metals like copper, silver, palladium, or zinc to add strength and, depending on the alloy, change the colour.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>A quick note on spelling:<\/strong> karat (K) refers to gold purity. Carat (ct) refers to the weight of gemstones. They sound the same, but they measure entirely different things. A diamond can be 1 carat; a ring can be 18 karat. The two terms should never be swapped.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element

In 18K yellow gold, the remaining 25% is typically a blend of silver and copper. The higher the karat, the richer and more orange-yellow the tone.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>or rose<\/strong> gets its warm pink blush from a higher proportion of copper in the alloy. An 18K rose gold piece typically contains 75% gold, around 20\u201322% copper, and a small amount of silver. Lower karat rose golds (14K) have even more copper, producing a deeper, more vivid pink.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>or blanc<\/strong> achieves its silvery tone through alloys containing nickel, palladium, or silver. Most white gold jewellery is also rhodium-plated \u2014 a thin coating that enhances the bright, reflective finish and provides an extra barrier against scratching.
