• 24K GOLD24k gold is pure gold, meaning all 24 parts in the gold are pure gold without traces of any other metals. It is known to be 99.9% pure and has a bright yellow colour. There is no higher form of gold than 24k. Since it is the purest form of gold, 24k is more expensive than other types of gold.
24k gold is softer and less durable compared to the gold of a lower karatage. Hence, it is not suitable for regular forms of jewellery such as Bridal jewellery, engagement rings, necklaces etc. However, gold of this purity level is widely used for coins, bars, electronics and saving purposes.
• 22K GOLD22k gold consists of 22 parts of pure gold and 2 parts of other metals such as silver, zinc, nickel, and other alloys.
This type of gold is commonly used in jewellery making in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
22k gold is a little harder and more durable than 24k gold due to mixed metals.
However, you should be aware that although this type of gold is suitable for plain gold jewellery, it is not preferable for diamond and heavily studded jewellery as it is not durable enough for harder
gemstones.
• 21K GOLD (Standard in Pakistan) 21k gold consists of 21 parts of pure gold and 3 parts of other metals or 87.5% of pure gold and 12.5% of other alloys.
This level of gold purity is popular for heavy jewellery mainly. 21K gold is preferable for gold jewellery although its hardness is still not enough for diamond jewellery.
21k gold is very popular in the countries of the Middle East and Asia such as Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia and in our very own Pakistan.
• 20K GOLD20k gold consists of 20 parts of pure gold and 4 parts of other metals. In other words, it is composed of 83.3% gold and 16.7% alloy.
This type of gold can be found in some vintage jewellery shops around Europe and the US. However, 20k gold is quite popular in our neighbouring countries. Purity standards vary from country to country as our standard for jewellery other than diamond jewellery is 21K.
• 18K GOLD18k gold contains 18 parts of pure gold and 6 parts of other metals added. It is 75% pure gold mixed with 25% of other metals like copper, silver etc. which make this type of gold less expensive than 24k, 22k, 21k, and 20k gold.
Although 18k has a slightly dull gold colour compared to higher levels of purity, it still shows a bright gold colour.
Nowadays, diamond and other gemstone jewellery is usually made in 18k gold. It is the best choice for those who want to have the most amount of gold and still possess a high level of durability.
