Across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the Gulf, 22K is the default for bridal and investment jewelry. It keeps gold’s rich yellow colour and strong resale value while being just hard enough to wear, so families often treat 22K pieces as both adornment and savings passed down through generations.
Genuine 22K is stamped “916” (sometimes “22K” or “916 KDM”), reflecting its 91.6% purity. Always look for a recognised assay or BIS hallmark before buying, and remember the shop price adds making charges and tax such as GST on top of the metal value shown here.
22 karat gold is 91.6% pure (often hallmarked “916”), with the remaining ~8% made up of harder metals for durability.
It balances a high gold content and rich colour with enough strength to be worn daily, making it the standard for traditional jewelry.
Take the pure 24K spot price and multiply by 0.916, since 22K gold is 91.6% pure.
