24K vs 22K Gold: What Is the Difference?
24K gold is the highest-purity form commonly traded and is generally preferred for investment bars and coins. 22K gold contains other metals to improve durability, making it more suitable for jewellery.
For jewellery buyers, the final amount payable is not determined by the gold rate alone. Making charges, wastage, taxes and the jeweller’s pricing policy can significantly affect the final bill.
