Assistant: Karats are measurements of the purity of gold. So if you start with a very pure gold block, and add small amounts of other substances, the resulting product will have a lower karat rating. If you add less and less other substances to the gold block, you can also make it more and more pure, but the karat rating won’t change. This means that 14 karat gold is a less pure form of gold than 18 karat gold, for example. So if you had, say, $100 in 14 karat gold, and you wanted to convert it to 18 karat, you would get $100 worth
