The bigger the better. ]
yep, the higher the number the better. 24's the highest. ]
which number is higher?
that's how you tell
24 is best ]
yes, gold (and gemstones) is judged in purity units of karats, so 18 karats is more pure. 18k has a higher percentage of gold than 14k and is therefore more expensive. ]
Adding on to what the person below me said, 18k gold is also softer since it contains more gold and gold is a soft mineral. So, like an 18k piece of jewelry might bend easier. I had a 18k ring and it was a little too big. The back of the ring like, flattened out after a few years. ]
