Understanding Gold Purity: 24K vs 22K vs 18K
A complete guide to gold purity and how it affects your valuation.
When selling or buying gold, understanding purity is essential. Gold purity is measured in karats (K), with 24K being pure gold. At BILVA, we use industry-standard equipment to test your gold and provide accurate valuations.
24K Gold – Pure gold (99.9% gold). Soft and malleable, often used for coins and bars.
22K Gold – 91.6% gold, commonly used in Indian jewelry. Most traditional ornaments are 22K.
18K Gold – 75% gold, popular for modern jewelry. More durable than higher karats.
Our experts will test your gold and explain exactly what you have. No guesswork—just transparent, accurate valuation.
