22k Gold Jewellery

Pure gold (24 carat) is extremely soft and easily damaged. For this reason, most gold jewellery is not made of 100% gold. For making jewellery, gold is alloyed with other metals such as copper and silver to give it strength and durability. 22 carat gold refers to 91.6% purity and appears to be almost as yellow as 24 carat and is the purest form of gold available for jewellery in the market.

Jewellery made in 22 carat gold is can be plain gold or studded with cubic zirconia (or other non precious stones). As 22 carat is very high in purity, it is quite soft and malleable which means that stones set in 22 carat gold are not as secure as they would be in say 18 carat gold. Due to this, is not usual practice to set precious stones such as diamonds in 22 carat Jewellery.

The price of 22 carat gold jewellery is determined by a number of factors including weight of the gold, the design and other ornamental detailing and finish of the item. The design of 22 carat gold jewellery can vary greatly in different shops with some designs found exclusively in certain shops.
