A piece of jewellery is made up of 18k. It means that the jewellery is made up of 18 parts of gold and 6 parts with other metals.

  • The purity of pure gold is 24K.
  • But we can't make jewellery with pure gold we have to add some other metals like copper, silver etc to make jewellery.
  • If jewellery is made of 18K then it means that it contains 18 parts of gold and other metals such as copper, silver in the rest six parts.
