Gold purity is measured in karats. Higher-karat gold contains more gold content, while lower-karat gold is mixed with other metals to improve strength and durability.
24K gold is the purest form of gold. It has a bright yellow colour and the highest gold value because it contains almost no other metals. However, it is soft and can bend or scratch more easily than lower-karat gold.
22K gold contains around 91.6% pure gold. It is one of the most popular gold types for jewellery in Sri Lanka because it gives a good balance between purity, beauty, and strength.
21K gold contains around 87.5% pure gold. It is slightly stronger than 22K gold and is suitable for jewellery that needs better durability while still keeping a high gold value.
18K gold contains around 75% pure gold and 25% other metals. It is stronger than 22K and 21K gold, making it a popular choice for modern jewellery, diamond jewellery, and daily-wear pieces.
Gold purity tells how much real gold is available in a jewellery item or gold piece. 24K has the highest purity, while 22K, 21K, and 18K contain other metals such as copper, silver, or zinc. These metals help improve the strength, colour, and durability of gold jewellery.
Gold prices can change due to international gold rates, currency exchange rates, local demand, supply, economic conditions, and market trends. This is why the gold price in Sri Lanka may increase or decrease from day to day.
