18k
Three-quarters pure gold
18k denotes 18-karat gold, an alloy that is 75% pure gold mixed with other metals for durability.
The k stands for karat, the measure of gold purity on a 24-point scale. 18k gold is common in fine jewelry—more valuable than 14k but softer than 10k: an 18k gold wedding band.
The term also appears as shorthand for 18,000, especially in salary discussions: The job pays 18k a year.
