22K Gold refers to gold that is 22 parts pure gold and 2 parts other metals, making it 91.67% gold content. This high purity level gives it a rich yellow color and makes it a popular choice for jewelry. The additional metals, often copper or silver, enhance durability and strength, making it suitable for everyday wear. Due to its high gold content, 22K Gold is softer than lower karat gold, such as 18K Gold or 14K Gold. While it is less resistant to scratches and dents, it is favored in many cultures for its beauty and value, especially in Indian and Middle Eastern jewelry.
