✨What is K18?｜MAI will explain it simply for you😊
Hello there🌷
I'm MAI, the face of MPM Musashi😊
Lately, when you look at jewelry,
you often see the "K18" mark, don't you?💎
"What is K18?😳"
"Does it mean 18-karat gold?"
"How is it different from K10 or 24-karat gold?"
Today, I'll explain "K18" as simply as possible😊
✨ What is K18?
K18 means,
A material that contains 75% gold
That's what it means😊
The remaining 25% may consist of metals such as silver, copper, and palladium💎
By the way,
- K24 → Approximately 99.9% gold
- K18 → 75% gold
- K10 → Approximately 42% gold
There are these differences😊
🤔 Why is 18-karat gold so popular?
In fact, pure gold (K24) is a very soft material😊
- Easily scratched
- Easily deformed
- May be too delicate for daily use
That's why K18 was created, balancing strength and beauty💎
The balance between "luxury" and "wearability" is the reason for its popularity😊
💎 What's the difference from K10?
K10 is a material with a lower gold content than K18😊
- K18 → Luxurious feel and deep color✨
- K10 → Lighter and more affordable😊
Neither is inherently better or worse; they are chosen based on purpose and preference💎
🛡 What about metal allergies?
K18 is sometimes said to be relatively hypoallergenic😊
However, there are individual differences depending on the mixed metals and the person's constitution💎
It's important to choose a material that suits you by checking the material notation😊
🧼 How to care for it?
K18 is a material that is relatively resistant to discoloration, but if sweat or sebum is left on it, its luster may dull😊
- Wipe with a soft cloth after use
- Store away from humidity
- Avoid rubbing jewelry together
With a little care, you can enjoy its beautiful luster for a long time✨

💎 From MAI
There is truly a wide variety of jewelry available these days😊
That's why,
- What kind of material it is
