Frequently asked questions
FAQWhat is 22K gold?
22K gold is 91.67% pure gold mixed with alloy metals (copper, silver, palladium or nickel) for durability. The remaining 8.33% is alloy.
How is the melt value of 22K gold calculated?
Weight × purity (91.67%) × gold spot price per gram. This calculator handles the conversion between grams, troy ounces, pennyweight and other units automatically.
What is the difference between 22K and other karats?
