750 gold marking
The 750 gold marking identifies the fineness of gold jewellery. In India, applicable BIS-hallmarked jewellery carries details that help buyers verify its declared purity. Look for the BIS logo, the 18K750 purity mark and the six-digit Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) number. You can use the BIS Care app to verify the HUID.
Buy from a trusted jeweller and check the hallmark details before purchasing. Remember that a fineness mark indicates gold content; it does not independently guarantee ethical sourcing, workmanship or overall jewellery quality.
The value and versatility of 750 Gold
750 gold is popular for fine jewellery because its alloy composition offers a balance of gold content, strength and design flexibility. Its market value depends on the net gold weight, purity and prevailing gold rate. Jewellery prices may also include making charges and taxes.
Eligible 18-carat gold jewellery may be used to apply for a Bajaj Finance Gold Loan, subject to valuation and eligibility criteria. Check your gold loan eligibility to understand the requirements before applying.
What is 750 gold mean in jewellery?
The number 750 represents the fineness of gold in a jewellery alloy. Other metals, such as copper, silver or zinc, are added to improve strength and influence the finish. This makes 750 gold suitable for rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and other jewellery designs. When purchasing a piece, check its purity marking and applicable hallmark details to understand its declared gold content.
What are the colours of 750 gold?
The colour of 750 gold depends on the metals used in the alloy. Yellow gold commonly combines gold with silver and copper, while white gold uses metals such as palladium to create a silvery appearance. Rose gold gets its pinkish-red shade from a higher proportion of copper.
| Colour | How it gets its colour |
| Yellow gold | A blend of gold, silver and copper |
| White gold | Gold mixed with white-colour metals, such as palladium |
| Rose gold | Gold mixed with a higher proportion of copper |
These options allow you to choose jewellery based on your preferred colour and design. However, colour alone cannot confirm gold purity.
