The karat mark refers to the purity of gold. For durability and workability pure gold is alloyed with other metals. 18k is 18 parts gold and 6 parts other metals and so on. Alloys of less than 10 karat cannot be stamped with the karat mark and are not considered REAL gold. Only karat gold jewelry is REAL gold.
Some jewelry is processed with a thin layer of gold.
