"Caratage" is simply the measurement of purity of gold alloyed with other metals. 24 carat is generally accepted as pure gold with no other metals. Lower caratages contain less gold; 18 carat gold contains 75% percent gold and 25% other metals, often copper or silver.
    An 18 carat gold represents 75% gold and other metals. This can be calculated by dividing the carats by 24. That is, 18/24=0.75 value of gold
    To get the percentage, multiply it by 100. That is 0.75×100=75% gold.

    There are some other values of gold that is sold they include; 0.999 0.995 0.990 or 22 carats, 14 carats etc  depending on what you buy as gold.
