Only 22 carat gold is used in making jewelry and this gold is 91.6 percent pure. But the effect is that by adulterating it, 89 or 90 percent pure gold is sold as 22-carat gold. That is why whenever you buy jewellery, take information about its hallmark. If the hallmark of gold is 375, then this gold is 37.5 percent pure gold. On the other hand, if the hallmark is 585, then this gold is 58.5 percent pure. If the hallmark is 750, then this gold is 75.0 percent pure. If the hallmark is 916, then the gold is 91.6 percent pure. If the hallmark is 990, then the gold is 99.0 percent pure. If the hallmark is 999, then the gold is 99.9 percent pure.
The hallmark number of all carats of gold is different. For example, 999 is written on 24-carat, 958 on 23-carat gold, 916 on 22-carat, 875 on 21-carat and 750 on 18-carat. This leaves no doubt about the purity. Carat gold means 1/24 percent gold, if your jewellery is of 22 carats then divide 22 by 24 and multiply it by 100.
