Gold has always been a symbol of wealth, love, and eternal beauty. But not all gold is the same; its purity and durability vary depending on its karat value. Among all, 18K gold stands out as a perfect balance between purity and strength. Whether you’re buying an engagement ring or a statement pendant, understanding what 18K gold is will help you make an informed choice.
At AYAANI, each piece of jewellery, crafted in 9K, 14K, and 18K gold, is designed to celebrate your elegance while embracing sustainability through lab grown diamonds.
The term “karat” (K) measures the purity of gold. Pure gold is 24K, meaning it’s 99.9% gold with no other metals mixed in. However, pure gold is too soft for daily wear, which is why it’s alloyed with other metals like copper, silver, or palladium.
18K gold contains 75% pure gold and 25% alloy metals, making it both luxurious and durable, the ideal blend for fine jewellery.
Gold purity standards date back centuries, with karats used as a global measurement of quality. Over time, jewellers refined alloys to produce gold that not only shines brightly but also resists scratches and dents. AYAANI follows these global standards to ensure every piece meets international benchmarks for purity and craftsmanship.
18K gold is composed of 18 parts pure gold and 6 parts alloy metals. This combination enhances durability while maintaining a rich, vibrant colour that appeals to jewellery lovers worldwide.
Because of its high purity, 18K gold is more lustrous and luxurious than 14K or 9K gold. It’s perfect for settings that highlight the brilliance of lab grown diamonds, such as engagement rings and elegant necklaces.
Gold Type | Purity | Color | Durability | Ideal Use |
24K | 99.9% | Bright Yellow | Soft | Investment Bars |
22K | 91.7% | Deep Yellow | Moderate | Traditional Jewellery |
18K | 75% | Balanced Tone | Excellent | Fine Jewellery |
14K | 58.3% | Lighter Tone | Very Durable | Daily Wear |
