Gold Rate Comparison - 22K vs 24K

Comparison Between 24K and 22K Gold
24-karat gold
24-karat gold is considered the purest form of gold. The percentage of pure gold in 24K gold is 99.9%. You’ll not find traces of other metals in it. This is also the reason why the price of 24-karat gold is higher than 22-karat, 18-karat, and 14-karat gold. Since 24-karat gold is too soft, it can’t be used to create intricate jewellery designs.
22-karat gold
22-karat gold is also called “916 gold” because it has 91.67% pure gold. 22-karat gold is harder than 24-karat gold because 22 parts of pure gold are mixed with 2 parts of other metals, such as zinc and copper. The presence of the other metals makes 22-karat gold stronger and harder. Most of the gold ornaments in Varanasi jewellery stores are created from 22-karat gold because it allows artisans to create sturdier designs.
