24K

"24K" refers to 24-karat gold, which is the purest form of gold available in jewelry and investment. The "24" indicates that the gold is 24 parts out of 24 pure, meaning 100% gold with no other metals mixed in. Because pure gold is soft and may be less durable, it’s often used in high-value items like investment bars or classic jewelry. In comparison, lower karat gold (such as 18K or 14K) contains a mix of gold and other metals, making it more durable but less pure.
