It is extremely important to pay attention to the purity of gold when purchasing it. Consumers should always ensure that the purchased gold has a hallmark. Hallmarking is a government guarantee of gold quality, certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This process is carried out according to the rules and standards set under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, giving consumers confidence in purchasing pure gold.
To understand the purity of gold, it is important to know the difference between 22 and 24 carats. 24-carat gold is 99.9% pure, but due to its delicacy, it is not considered suitable for making jewelry. On the other hand, 22-carat gold is approximately 91% pure, with 9% other metals, such as copper, silver, and zinc, added. The mixture of these metals makes the gold strong and durable, making the jewelry comfortable to wear and long-lasting. This is why most jewelers sell jewelry in 22-carat gold, giving customers both attractive designs and durability.
