Questions About 18k Karat Gold
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Yes, there is such a thing as 18-karat. The term describes metal that is 75 percent pure gold, with the remaining 25 percent being an alloy like aluminum, copper, nickel, iron or zinc. On 1stDibs, find a variety of gold jewelry and decorative objects.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    Whether 14-karat or 18-karat white gold is better for a wedding band depends largely on your preferences. If you like the look of white gold with a warmer tone, you may wish to opt for 18-karat gold because it often appears yellower due to its higher gold content. On the other hand, 14-karat white gold wedding bands tend to be durable, making them a good option for people most concerned with keeping their rings scratch-free. Find an assortment of white gold wedding bands on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Portuguese gold is 19.2 karat gold, or 80% gold and 20% other materials. Most gold is 75% gold and 25% other materials which translates to 18k. This means when you purchase Portuguese gold youre getting gold with a higher percentage of pure gold. Shop a collection of Portuguese gold jewelry from some of the worlds top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    The highest carat gold is 24K gold. 24K means 100% pure gold.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Yes, 18-karat gold can be good for earrings. Because it is an alloy, 18-karat gold is more durable and scratch-resistant than pure 24-karat gold. You can find 18-karat gold in rich warm yellow, cooler white with warm undertones and light pink rose. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of gold earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, 20-karat gold is indeed real. Karat is a unit used to measure the purity level of a gold item. Pure gold is 24-karat while the makeup of 20-karat gold is 83.3% gold and 16.7% alloy. Shop a collection of expertly vetted 20-karat jewelry from some of the worlds top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    Yes, 14-karat gold is real. However, it is not pure gold. Instead, 14-karat gold is an alloy made from 58.3% gold and 41.7% other metals. Durable and resistant to fading, 14-karat gold is a popular choice for producing jewelry and watches. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of gold jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because gold is too delicate a metal for everyday wear, it is mixed with other alloys. The best mixtures of gold for earrings are 14K and 18K for everyday jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, 21 karat gold is real gold and is made of 21 parts gold and four parts other metals. 21 karat gold is usually mixed with copper, zinc, silver, palladium and nickel to increase durability. You’ll find a wide variety of 21 karat gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    The difference between 14K and 18K white gold stud earrings comes down to the content of the precious metal alloy. Stud earrings made of 14-karat white gold are 58.3% gold and 41.7% base metal, while 18-karat gold is 75% pure gold and 25% other metals. As a result, 14-karat white gold tends to be stronger and more resistant to scratching, and 18-karat gold will have a more noticeable warm-glowing yellow tinge. On 1stDibs, shop a range of white gold stud earrings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Whether a wedding band should be 14K or 18K depends on your personal preferences. Because it contains more pure gold, 18-karat gold will usually show off a richer color and be less likely to fade over time. On the other hand, 14-karat gold is less prone to scratching and damage because it has more alloy metals. Explore a large collection of gold wedding bands on 1stDibs.
  • Typically, there are 41.7% gold and 58.3% other alloys/metals. This means that per gram, there are 0.417 grams gold and 0.583 grams other metals.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    The term 14-karat gold plated means that an item has a thin layer of 14-karat gold applied over a base metal like copper or brass. Fourteen-carat gold refers to metal that is 58.5% pure gold and 41.5% alloy. An alloy could be silver, zinc, copper or another metal. Shop a selection of 14-karat gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
