Is 24k or 18k Gold better?

[Thatboytravels]

I only buy 24k gold here in Thailand. Never had a problem with the jewelry being too soft, breaking etc. it’s not too soft to wear…

It’s not that soft bite that coin hard, then tell me how soft it is

[OmegaFighter]

Not that soft. I have worn 24k gold jewellery and it stands up just fine. Jewelry has been 24k for thousands of years, the problem is that the markup on modern jewelry is so much that jewellers spread this myth that 24k is too soft to wear.

Hypothetically speaking how to know how much copper/rose gold mix in the jewellery?

I’ve been wearing 24k gold necklaces and rings for over a decade, and the idea that it’s “too soft for jewelry” is often just a misconception. In many cases, it’s a way for jewelers to avoid working with a material that requires a higher level of craftsmanship, or it’s not profitable enough for them to justify using it. For centuries, Southeast Asians have embraced 24k gold in their jewelry, showcasing its durability and beauty. While it’s less common in Western cultures, that doesn’t diminish its value or practicality—it's simply a matter of cultural preference and expertise.

hahaha sorry buddy, but after discovering thailand and other countries ways of doing things, Anything less than 23k gold is a waste of money. just saw a 14k gold 7mm cuban curb going for the same price im about to pay for a fat 24k Dragon 3 sided Gold ring. why pay top dollar for anything less than the best? Itll last life times. if im not mistaken theyre still digging up old ancient egyptian 24k items and jewelry.

Pure 24k gold isn't pure gold. And it isn't used for ingots. Not sure about coins. If you're invest in gold and buy ingots it's usually poured pure to 999.99% (Au)
