Which Type of Gold is Best For Jewellery?

24-carat gold, which is the purest form (99.9%) of gold, is too soft for making jewellery. Therefore, gold mixed with other other metals is better for making jewellery. 22-carat (and even 18-carat) gold is therefore popular.

Since 22-carat and 18-carat forms contain lower amount of gold as a percentage, they are therefore cheaper than 24 carat. However, all kinds of jewellery will have making charge and then GST on both the gold and the making charge. If you have already purchased the gold as a biscuit or bar, then GST applies on the making charge only.
