75% pure · 18/24 · hallmarked 75018K is three-quarters gold, stamped 750, and it is the usual standard for fine and designer jewellery — what the major international jewellery 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.

- Global gold is priced in USD. The Nigeria price shown here is the same global price converted to NGN at the daily FX rate, then divided to a per-gram value at the 18K purity ratio. There is no real price difference — just unit and currency conversion.
- Where do I buy 18K gold in Nigeria?
- Gold is sold in Nigeria at local gold souks and licensed goldsmiths. Always check the hallmark stamp to confirm karat, and obtain a documented receipt. The spot price shown here is your reference for evaluating the shop's price before making charges.
- How often is the Nigeria gold price updated?
- The spot price is refreshed from Swissquote at least every five minutes and moves with live PAXG/USD quotes while the page is open. The NGN/USD exchange rate is the day's mid-market rate from the open-source currency-api feed. The price you see is the global spot price converted to the local currency.
