Complete Guide to Buying Jewellery
Everything you need to know before making your next jewellery purchase. From understanding purity to choosing the right jeweller.
Understanding Gold Purity
Gold purity is measured in karats (K). Pure gold is 24K, but it's too soft for jewellery. Here's what each purity level means:
99.9% pure gold. Too soft for regular jewellery, used for coins and bars.
91.6% pure gold. Most popular for traditional Indian jewellery.
75% pure gold. Ideal for diamond studded jewellery.
58.5% pure gold. More durable, often used in everyday jewellery.
Pro Tip
For daily wear, 18K or 14K gold is more practical as it's harder and more scratch-resistant than 22K gold.
