How to Check Gold Purity Before Buying
Gold purity is measured through hallmarking, certified by the Indian Standard Organization (ISO). Here’s how purity is classified:
- 24-Carat Gold: 99.9% pure (marked as 999)
- 22-Carat Gold: 91.6% pure (marked as 916)
- 18-Carat Gold: 75% pure (marked as 750)
Key Insights
- 24-carat gold is the purest form but is not used for making jewelry due to its softness.
- 22-carat gold is mixed with 9% other metals (like copper, silver, or zinc) to enhance durability, making it ideal for ornaments.
- Always look for hallmark stamps like 916 (22-carat) or 999 (24-carat) to ensure authenticity.
