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

The purity level of gold is expressed in karats (K). Higher karat levels indicate higher gold purity in the alloy, resulting in decreased strength of the alloy.

  • Gold (18K) has gold content of 75% by weight. Due to its good strength it is the most commonly used alloy for daily wear.
  • Making of a 22K gold jewellry requires about 91.6% pure gold. Gold of this karat is mostly in the making of traditional or wedding jewellry pieces.
  • An ideal example of pure gold (gold purity of 99.9%) is 24K gold. However, gold of this purity level being very soft is only suitable to be minted into gold coins or gold bars as these items have no structural requirements.

When seeking today's gold rates in Patiala of 22 or 24 carat gold, remember to make correct comparison as gold prices differ between karat values.

Reliable ways to test gold purity in Patiala

The purity of gold should be checked before buying gold items as it not only ensures good quality but also gives an idea of how purity can affect the gold rate in Patiala. Below is a list of some common methods to test the purity of gold:

  • Inclusion of BIS hallmark: A hallmark is the guarantee of the gold purity, and it is a good idea to look for the BIS hallmark if the item is made by a reputable brand.
  • Visual examination: Look if there are any color changes or if the gold seems to be getting tarnished, as that is a sign of lower purity.
  • Magnet test: Gold in its pure form does not get attached to a magnet, so metal sticking to a magnetic field shows that other materials have been used in the composition.
  • Acid test: By using a small sample of nitric acid, a professional is able to determine the purity of the gold.
  • Electronic gold tester: With the help of a professional device, this tool can be used to check gold's purity and even the karat value instantly with no damage to the item.

If you want, a more reliable purity check, visit a trusted jeweller or an independent, professional assayer who is certified in this field in your city.


How can you calculate the value of your gold?

To estimate your gold's value, you need:

  • Gold weight
  • Gold purity
  • Gold rate per gram applicable on assessment day

Gold Value Formula: Gold value = Gold weight × gold rate per gram


Example

If you have:

  • 50 grams of 22K gold
  • Applicable gold rate: Rs. 13,434 per gram
  • Gold value = 50 × Rs. 13,434 = Rs. 6,71,700

This gives you an estimated value of your gold. The loan amount you can get may be lower, depending on the lender's loan-to-value (LTV) policy.

How does the gold price in Patiala today affect your gold loan amount?

The gold rate applicable on the day your gold is assessed is what determines your eligible loan amount not the rate from the previous month or the price at which you originally purchased the gold. When gold prices in Patiala are higher, the same jewellery supports a larger loan. When prices are lower, the eligible amount reduces accordingly.

 

What decides your eligible loan amount?

Gold loan eligibility in Patiala depends on four factors:

  • The weight of your gold
  • The purity of your gold
  • The applicable gold rate on the day of assessment
  • The Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio the percentage of your gold's assessed value that the lender will advance

Stones, enamel, or any decoration on your jewellery are not counted. Only the actual gold content is assessed.


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.

Please note, the maximum LTV eligible for a loan depends on the loan amount and cannot be more than the limits given. To know more
