Answer: There is 24K, 18K, 14K and 10K. These are in the order of highest gold content to lowest. The best for jewelery is normally 18K or 14K since they are harder and will not dent as easily. 18K gold is more popular in Europe than in the U.S., where 14K is more popular. Alot of the 18K gold is imported to the states from Italy. 18K gold is a little more 'buttery' yellow than the others. As Deva said, 24K is almost never used for jewelery.
