Jewellery in purity
24k Gold
Only simple jewellery and ornaments are possible in 24k gold due to the metal's softness.
Examples of such 24k gold jewellery and ornaments include: 24k Bangles (Patlya), Rings (Thappya chi Angthi), Chains (Goup), Necklaces (Chapla Ghanti, Pohe Har, Kanthi Mala), Coins (99.50% purity), Earrings (Badya/Balya) and hardly few more.
It is important to note that anyone claiming to sell designer jewellery in 24k gold is likely fraudulent. Be cautious and ensure authenticity when purchasing 24k gold items.
22k Gold
All major jewellery is made in 22k gold, including rings, earrings, chains, bracelets, mangalsutras, bangles, necklaces, and tops.
All designer jewellery is crafted in this gold purity.
It is important to note that all types of jewellery manufacturing are possible in 22k gold, except for diamond jewellery. For anyone claiming to sell diamond jewellery in 22k gold, be doubly sure before making a purchase.
18k Gold
All types of designer jewellery are possible in 18k gold, but this gold purity is specifically used to produce diamond jewellery.
It is important to know the difference between gold types while buying jewellery. Almost every piece of 22k jewellery can also be produced in 18k, but diamond jewellery is an exception that is typically made only in 18k gold.
Although it is possible to manufacture diamond jewellery in 22k gold, it requires more weight for the safety of the diamond.
