Karat measures gold purity, 1 karat = 1/24 gold purity. With 24 karats being pure but soft, less ideal for jewelry. Gold is alloyed for durability, like 18 karat (75% gold) for intricate pieces, and 14 karat (58.3% gold) for a balance of strength and affordability. This applies to yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. For your information, our 18-karat yellow gold has a richer hue compared to 14-karat yellow gold. The tone of our yellow gold is soft and subtle, avoiding an overly yellow appearance. As for 18-karat rose gold, the color is also deeper than that of 14-karat rose gold.
