While many may initially think this makes 24K the "best" gold to buy, that isn't necessarily the case. This karat amount is the 100% gold, thereby making it the most prestigious and expensive; however, as any jeweler will tell you, it's very rare you'll find jewelry made out of 24K.

What is the highest type of gold?
24K (100% pure gold)
Being the highest karat of gold, it's easy to assume that 24K is the “best” gold to buy, but that isn't necessarily the case. Pure gold can be easily scratched and bent, so it's impractical for daily wear (yet the most expensive).
