18k gold contains 75% pure gold, giving it a richer, deeper colour than 9k or 14k. It is hallmarked with 750 or 18k and has a distinctly luxurious warmth.
Yes, though it benefits from a little more care. Its higher gold content makes it slightly softer than 14k, but it is still suitable for regular wear. Avoid heavy manual work or contact sports.
The higher the gold purity, the more intrinsic value and material cost goes into the piece. 18k also requires more precise craftsmanship and alloying.
18k gold is marginally softer than lower karats, so fine surface scratches can occur over time. These can be polished out by a jeweller. The richness of the colour more than compensates.
Clean with warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, perfume and chlorine. Store separately in a pouch to prevent scratching.
