75% pure · 18/24 · hallmarked 75018K is three-quarters gold, stamped 750, and it is the international standard for fine jewellery — what most European and designer houses work in. A quarter of the metal is alloy, making it noticeably harder than 21K or 22K and far better at holding a polished edge.
That hardness is why gem-set pieces are usually 18K: prongs holding a diamond have to stay where they were bent, and softer gold lets stones work loose. It is also the karat that carries colour — a copper-heavy mix gives rose gold, palladium or nickel gives white gold.
Priced per gram it looks cheaper than 21K, but that is arithmetic, not a discount: you are buying a quarter less gold. Sold back, the shop pays on 75% of the weight — so compare 18K against 21K by gold content, never by the sticker.

Kuwait gold market
Kuwait's gold market is dominated by 22K and 24K — the Kuwaiti preference skews higher-karat than the wider GCC. The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) is the world's highest-valued currency (~0.31 KWD/USD), so gold prices in KWD are numerically the smallest in the Gulf. Kuwait has no VAT or customs duty on gold (as of 2026), making it one of the most tax-efficient retail markets in the region.
