What is the difference between 18K, 22K, and 24K gold?

The karat value tells you how much pure gold a piece contains. Higher karats mean more gold.

  • 18K gold is 75% pure gold. The remaining 25% is other metals, which make it harder and more suitable for daily wear.
  • 22K gold is 91.6% pure gold. It is the most popular choice for traditional jewellery in Kolhapur because it balances purity with durability.
  • 24K gold is 99.9% pure gold. It is too soft for jewellery but ideal for investment in gold coins and bars.

How to check gold purity in Delhi

Verifying gold purity is important before purchasing, selling or pledging jewellery. Some commonly used methods include:

  • BIS hallmark: Check the jewellery for the applicable BIS hallmark and purity details.
  • Fineness mark: A 916 mark generally corresponds to approximately 91.6% gold purity.
  • XRF testing: X-ray fluorescence can analyse metal composition without significantly damaging the item.
  • Electronic testing: Professional testing equipment can help assess the composition of gold.
  • Acid testing: A trained professional may use controlled chemical testing to estimate purity.
  • Professional assessment: A certified jeweller or assayer can provide a more reliable purity evaluation.

Home checks may offer only a basic indication. For more accurate results, consult a qualified professional and read more about gold purity.


Once purity is understood, you can also check your gold loan eligibility if you plan to pledge eligible gold.


How can you calculate the value of your gold?

You can estimate the current value of your gold using three simple details:

  • Gold weight
  • Gold purity
  • Applicable gold rate per gram

Formula

Gold Value = Gold Weight × Gold Rate per Gram

For example, if you own 50 grams of 22K gold and today's rate is Rs. 12,826 per gram:

50 × Rs. 12,826 = Rs. 6,41,300

This gives the approximate market value of your gold. The final amount offered for a gold loan depends on the applicable LTV ratio, gold purity, and the lender's valuation process.


How do gold rates influence gold investments?

Gold prices influence the value of physical gold, Gold ETFs and Sovereign Gold Bonds. When gold prices rise, these investments may gain value, while a decline in gold prices may reduce their value. Each option works differently, but all are linked to movements in the underlying gold price.

How does the 22 carat gold price in Delhi today affect your gold loan amount?

The 22 carat gold price in Delhi can affect your eligible gold loan amount because the current applicable gold value is used during valuation. A higher gold value may increase your eligible amount, while a lower value may reduce it. Your final loan amount also depends on the gold’s eligible weight, purity and applicable LTV ratio.


How is gold loan eligibility calculated?

Your eligible gold loan amount depends on:

  • Gold weight
  • Gold purity
  • Applicable gold rate on the day of assessment
  • Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio

Only eligible gold content is considered. Stones, enamel, fastenings and other non-gold components are excluded from the assessed weight.


The final loan amount depends on the eligible LTV, actual gold purity, and the lower of either the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange. The LTV ratio must be maintained throughout the loan tenure and may be revised as per RBI guidelines and lender policies. The loan amount is determined using the applicable LTV ratio, which varies by loan size. To know more, click here.
