% Gold explanation: Karats (K) measure how pure a piece of gold is. Think of it as a score out of 24. If something is 24 karats, it’s 100% pure gold—the highest score possible.

If it’s 18 karats, it’s 18 parts gold out of 24, or 75% gold. The rest is usually mixed with other metals like silver or copper to make it stronger.

Silver purity is usually measured in percentages or with the term “sterling silver” rather than karats like gold. But here’s the simple breakdown:

  • Pure silver is 99.9% silver—also called fine silver or .999 silver. It’s super soft and not great for making everyday items.

  • Sterling silver is 92.5% silver mixed with 7.5% other metals (like copper) to make it stronger and more durable. That’s why you often see a “925” stamp on sterling silver jewelry.

If you see silver marked as “800” silver, it means it’s 80% silver and 20% other metals—not as pure but tougher.

 

So, while gold has karats, silver is usually labeled by its percentage of purity or with the term sterling silver.

Platinum purity is measured in percentages, similar to silver, but it’s usually marked with a number out of 1,000. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Pure platinum is 99.9% platinum—but that level of purity is rare in jewelry.

  • Most platinum jewelry is 950 platinum, which means it’s 95% platinum and 5% other metals (like iridium, ruthenium, or palladium) to add strength.

  • Sometimes you’ll see 900 platinum, which is 90% platinum and 10% other metals.

Platinum jewelry usually has a stamp like “950 Pt” or just “950” to show its purity. The higher the number, the more platinum and the more valuable it is.
