Understanding Gold Purity
| Gold Type | Purity Level | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| 24K | 99.9% Pure Gold | Coins, bars, investment purchases |
| 22K | 91.6% Gold + alloy metals | Jewellery and ornaments |
| 18K | 75% Gold + alloy metals | Diamond and designer jewellery |
While 24K gold offers the highest purity and is preferred for investment purposes, 22K gold remains the most popular choice for jewellery owing to its greater durability. Meanwhile, 18K gold is commonly used in modern designer and gemstone jewellery.
Jewellers have advised customers to verify prevailing rates, making charges and GST before completing purchases, as the final billing amount can differ from the quoted metal rate. Market observers expect gold prices to remain sensitive to global economic developments, central bank policies and international bullion market trends in the days ahead.
