What to know about 18 karat gold
Resale value
18K jewelry is bought as scrap at metal value only; stones and brand names count only in specialist resale channels. The recovered share of the purchase price is therefore lower than with 21K.
White gold
18K white gold is yellow gold alloyed with white metals and usually rhodium plated, needing replating every few years. Its sale value is its gold content, 75% of the weight.
