Pure gold is defined as 24 Karat - A Carat (Karat in USA & Germany) was originally a unit of mass (weight) based on the Carob seed or bean used by ancient merchants in the Middle East. The Carob seed is from the Carob or locust bean tree.
Gold jewellery is usually made from 24, 18 or 10 Karat. 24 Karat gold jewellery will be quite soft and, of course, wear away much faster than 18 or 10 Karat items. When an item is designated as 18 or 10 Karat, other metals have been added during the melting process.

24 karat may be purer, but sometimes you want 12, since pure gold is so malleable. You don't want your jewelry changing shape wen you squeeze it do you

the 24 is pure goldwhick means it looks a little different then what you see the the stores it also is softer. it will bend easy. real easy

24K karot gold is pure gold. 12K is gold mixed with other metals to form an alloy. 24K is better in my opinion.

Pure gold is 24 karat; gold that is 50 percent pure is 12 karat.
Of course, pure is always better ;p
janealcott
it differs in gold concentration. 24 k is pure 100%, ive never heard of 12 k gold though...ive seen 10k and 14k...but pretty much anything less than 24 k has less percentage of gold, and more fillers. some people are allergic to specific karats and have to wear higher numbers. the thing that sucks with 24k is that it can be altered/bent easily.

24k is the most expensive gold in the world. It is rare to find.
odd
24K gold jewelry has more gold, so it's more expensive. But gold is soft, so it breaks easily. 12K gold jewelry has more of other harder metal, so it's harder to break, but sometimes it changes color over time because of the other metal that is mixed into it. I personally like 18k gold jewelry, because it's not soft like 24k and doesn't change color like 12k. But the changing of the color also depends on the sweat of the person who's wearing the jewelry. So...there's no one perfect type for everyone.
