You probably came across jewelry terms like 24K, 18K, 14K and even 9K or 10K. But what does it all mean? K means karats and refers to the purity of gold. Pure gold is 24 Karats (24K) and it's the most valuable as it is 100% pure gold. It is mined out of the earth in veins or nuggets and is yellow.

Determining your ring size can be difficult. The best way to determine the most accurate sizing is to go to a local jeweler and have an expert measure your fingers. But I understand this may be sometimes difficult so I'm providing an alternative to do it at home. Please keep in mind that this may not be your exact size and that different shapes of rings require sometimes different sizes.
