Purity: what the karat number means
Pure gold is 24 karat. Most jewellery in India is 22 karat (about 91.6 per cent gold) or 18 karat (75 per cent), because pure gold is too soft for daily wear. The balance is made up of other metals such as copper and silver. A higher karat figure means more gold per gram, so purity has a direct effect on value.
How purity is tested
Common methods include the touchstone and acid test, and electronic or X-ray testing. Each has its own strengths, so ask the team which method is used on your pieces and ask to see the result. A transparent test is one you can watch.
Net weight and the final figure
Value is calculated on the net gold weight rather than the gross weight on the scale, because stones, lac and other fittings are not gold. The purity-adjusted weight is multiplied by the applicable rate. Any deductions, and how they are calculated, should be explained to you before you decide.
Market rates change through the day, and the rate the business applies is not identical to a headline rate you might see on the internet. Always ask which rate is being used and for what purity.
