While 24 karat gold jewelry is the zenith of high karat gold jewelry, and resplendent 22 karat gold jewelry forms the core of our jewelry collections, there are several excellent reasons for us to use 18 karat gold to make some of our pieces. With a pure gold content of 75%, 18 karat gold is the first rung on the ladder of high karat gold. Although 18 karat gold contains less pure gold than 22 karat gold and 24 karat gold, its greater alloy content makes 18 karat gold jewelry lighter, harder and more durable than 22 and 24 karat gold. As a result, 18 karat gold provides more flexibility in terms of design and daily wear. Keep scrolling for a curated selection of pieces from our archive reimagined in 18 karat gold.
