When selling or buying gold in Ghaziabad, understanding the purity of gold is essential to get the best value. Gold purity is measured in karats (K), which indicates the amount of pure gold present in an alloy.
At Guru Kripa Gold Buyer, we believe knowledge is power — so let’s break down what these karat numbers mean and why they matter when selling your gold.
What is Karat (K) in Gold?
- 24K Gold: This is pure gold (99.9% pure). It’s soft and highly valuable. Usually used for investment or in jewellery that doesn’t require hardness.
- 22K Gold: Contains 91.6% pure gold, mixed with small amounts of other metals for durability. It’s the most common purity in Indian jewellery.
- 18K Gold: Made of 75% pure gold and 25% other metals, making it harder and more durable for everyday wear.
- 14K Gold: Has 58.3% pure gold, often used in fashion jewellery, less expensive but also less pure.
Why Does Gold Purity Matter?
- Value: The higher the karat, the more pure gold content it has, and hence, the higher the price.
- Durability: Pure 24K gold is soft and can scratch easily, so jewellers mix it with other metals for strength.
- Market Price Calculation: Buyers calculate price based on purity, so knowing your karat helps you understand the valuation.
