What exactly does 18 carat gold mean?

Jewellery is rarely, if ever, made in 24 carat gold (that is 100% pure gold) because it's far too soft and easily damaged, and therefore would not last very long. So jewellers over the centuries have added other metals, often silver, to add durability. The percentage of silver etc. added to the gold determines whether a ring will be 9 carat, 14 carat, 18 carat or 22 carat. It is the Assay Office who test the particular piece of jewellery and mark it with the appropriate carat designation (referred to by the Assay Office as the Standard Mark). In the case of an 18 carat item, it will bear the Standard Mark 750. The figure shows that the article consists of 750 parts of gold by weight to 250 parts of other metals - 75% gold. This is equal to 18 carats (18 parts in every 24), the traditional way of describing the purity of gold. However, the Assay Office will still mark the item as 18 carat if the gold content is higher than 75% but not quite up to 91.6%, which would take the item into the 22 carat category.
