The fluctuation in gold and silver prices continues. Most people are confused about how many carats to buy when making gold jewellery. This is the first question that comes to mind. Caratage indicates the purity of gold, determining its strength and price. So, let’s find out how many carats of gold should be used for making gold jewellery.

24 Carat

24-carat gold is approximately 99.9% pure gold. It has a deep yellow colour and a distinct lustre. 24-carat gold coins are the best investment option because they are almost entirely free of impurities. However, 24-carat gold is not used for making gold jewellery. Because it is very soft, 24-carat gold can easily bend or scratch if you make a ring, bracelet, or necklace from it. Therefore, it is rarely used in jewellery.

22 Carat

22-carat gold is approximately 91.6% pure. A small amount of copper or silver is added to enhance its strength. Most people use 22-carat gold when making gold jewellery. It is suitable for everyday wear and has a good resale value.

18 Carat

18-carat gold is approximately 75% pure. Copper, silver, or other metals are added to it for strength. It is considered the strongest and is widely used in designer jewellery. 18-carat gold is mainly used when jewellery is studded with diamonds, emeralds, or other gemstones. Its colour is slightly lighter and appeals to those who prefer a modern look.
