What Is The Difference Between 9kt and 14kt Gold?

The term "karat" designates the amount of gold found in a piece of jewellery. Jewellery is commonly made in 9kt, 14kt, and 18kt, as pure gold is mixed with other metals to produce a harder, more workable metal.

A 9kt piece of jewellery has more alloy mixed with the gold than would a 14kt piece. The higher the number the more the gold content.
