Pure gold is notated as 24K – this is the highest karat level for gold meaning it is 100% pure gold. 18K gold is 75% purity level, 14K is 58.3% purity level, and 10K is 41.7% purity level. As you can see, the higher the karat number, the more pure gold comprises the metal.

24 Karat gold is 100 percent pure gold and does not have any other metal mixed. In the local market, it is known as 99.9 percent pure and has a distinct bright yellow color. The 24-karat gold is more expensive than 22 or 18-karat gold.

999.99 or five nines fine, is the highest quality of fine gold. 22-carat gold, which is typically used in making jewelry, has a fineness of 916. A fineness of 100% is impossible to achieve as there will be some degree of impurity in commercially available gold. Pure gold is too soft to be used in making jewelry.
