well goosemaster, unfortuantely, they are also priced based on how good they are for your eyes and how bad they are for your walletD:

24 karat gold = 100% pure gold
18 karat gold = 75% pure gold

etc.

Isn't 24K = 999.9 = 99.99% pure?

999.9 jewllery is very common in many Asian contries in fact it's harder to find 18K or anything below that in Asia.

Yes it deforms easier (actually not too bad if you take care of it) and IMHO they look much better than any other mixes of gold.
