Complete Gold Purity Guide
Understanding Gold Purity
Gold purity is measured in karats (K), which indicates the proportion of pure gold in a piece of jewelry or investment. Pure gold is 24 karats, meaning it contains 99.9% gold content. However, pure gold is too soft for most jewelry applications, so it's often alloyed with other metals like silver, copper, or zinc to increase durability and strength.
Understanding gold purity is crucial for making informed purchasing decisions, whether you're buying jewelry for personal use or gold for investment purposes. Each karat level has its own characteristics, advantages, and ideal use cases.
