About 22 Karat Gold
22 karat gold, also known as 916 gold, is the most widely used gold purity for jewelry in India. It contains 91.67% pure gold and 8.33% alloy metals (typically copper, silver, or zinc), which provide the necessary hardness for crafting durable jewelry pieces.
The BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) hallmark system ensures the purity of gold jewelry in India. When you see the hallmark "916" on a piece of jewelry, it certifies that the gold is 22 karat pure. Always insist on BIS hallmarked gold when making a purchase to ensure you get genuine purity.
