Gold Purity Guide: What Karat Really Means
Karat simply tells you how much pure gold is in a piece. The rest is usually another metal added for strength, because pure gold on its own is quite soft. A higher karat means more pure gold — and usually a higher price.
- 24 Karat (999): Almost pure gold, very soft, often used for bars and coins rather than everyday jewellery.
- 22 Karat (916): A favourite for traditional jewellery in Pakistan, with a high gold share and better durability than pure gold.
- 21 Karat (875): A popular jewellery choice that balances gold content with strength.
- 18 Karat (750): Three quarters pure gold, widely used for modern jewellery that needs to hold its shape.
Which karat should you buy?
For a special, traditional piece you plan to keep for years, many buyers choose 22 karat. For something you will wear every day, 21 or 18 karat can be a practical choice because it is tougher. For saving or investment, 24 karat bars and coins are the usual pick. Whatever you choose, always ask for the karat and weight in writing, and keep the receipt, before you pay.
