3. Different Karats of Gold
 24 Karat Gold, 22 Karat Gold and 18 Karat Gold are widely used.

4. 24K Gold
Known to be 99.9 percent pure, 24k gold is the purest form of gold that is totally free of the traces of any other metals. So, the
ones who claim of offering 25 or 26k gold actually fake. 24 k gold is available on a distinct bright yellow color. Being low in
density, this type of gold is soft and pliable and hence, they are rarely used to make any kind of jewellery.

5. o 22k gold
The jewelleries made with 22k gold contain 91.67 percent pure gold and 8.33 percent silver, zinc, nickel and other alloys.
When other metals are added to gold, they make the texture of gold harder, making them durable.
o 18k gold
In case of 18k gold, 75 percent of the content is pure gold and other 25 percent is a mixture of other metals like copper or silver.
They are less expensive than 24K and 22K gold. The jewelleries made of 18k gold have a slightly dull gold color.

18 karat = 75.0 % gold
