What is 18K gold?
18 karat gold is 75% pure with 25% alloy (typically copper and silver, or palladium for white gold). It is the international standard for fine jewelry brands — Cartier, Bvlgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany, and most Swiss watch makers use 18K as their default for gold products.
The higher alloy content makes 18K significantly more durable than 22K, which is why it's preferred for pieces with gemstones, intricate prongs, or heavy daily wear.
18K white, rose, and yellow gold
All three are 18K (750 fineness) — what differs is the alloy mix. Yellow 18K uses silver and copper, rose 18K uses more copper for the pink hue, and white 18K uses palladium (or historically nickel) plus rhodium plating. The per-gram spot price is the same; the color is cosmetic.
