What Does Karat Mean?
Karat (not to be confused with carat for gemstones) is a measure of gold purity. Pure gold is 24 karats, meaning it contains 24 parts gold out of 24 total parts.
Lower karat gold contains other metals like silver, copper, or zinc mixed with the gold. These alloys make the gold harder and more durable but reduce its purity.
In India, 22K and 24K gold are most popular for traditional jewelry, while 18K and 14K are preferred for contemporary designs that require more durability.
