## About 18K gold

18K is 75% pure gold (hallmark 750), used for diamond, white gold and fine jewellery.

18K is 75% gold and 25% alloy. It is hard enough to hold diamonds and delicate Italian or Spanish work, and it is the only one of the four that can be made convincingly white or rose. That is why it is the fine-jewellery standard.
