22kt vs. 18kt Gold
22 Karat gold (91.6% pure) is traditionally preferred for Indian jewelry due to its rich, vibrant yellow hue and cultural significance. It is softer than 18kt, making it ideal for intricate filigree work and heirloom pieces.
18 Karat gold (75% pure) is alloyed with other metals, increasing its durability and making it suitable for daily wear and diamond settings. Its slightly muted yellow tone complements modern designs and offers greater resilience.
