24K is technically the highest level of purity in gold, and it means that all 24 parts in the gold are in its purest form. This category of gold is, hence, the most expensive gold available. It is 99.9% pure and is less dense.
Being the purest type, 24K gold is comparatively more expensive than any other type of gold available. Owing to its low density, pure gold is soft and highly pliable, making it uncommon in jewellery making.
However, ornaments made from pure gold do exist; it’s just that they cannot be used for daily wear as they are more prone to losing their shape easily and quickly. Nonetheless, the low-density factor of pure gold is utilized in making gold coins and gold bars. It is also used in electronics and in manufacturing certain medical equipment.
Pure gold is further mixed with silver, nickel, and other alloys to produce different types of gold, such as white, pink, yellow, etc.
Gold coins made of pure gold are considered auspicious and traditionally symbolize all that the metal represents.
