Homonym: 24K (Gold)
"24K" refers to the purity of gold, indicating that it is 99.9% pure. This means that in a piece of 24K gold, there are no other metals mixed in, making it the highest quality of gold available. It is often used in jewelry, coins, and other decorative items due to its rich color and luster.
In addition to its use in jewelry, 24K gold is also popular in various industries, including electronics and dentistry, because of its excellent conductivity and resistance to tarnish. However, due to its softness, it is less durable than lower karat gold, which contains other metals for added strength.
