What Is 22 Carat (916) Gold?
22 carat gold is 91.6% pure gold, with the remaining 8.4% made up of metals like copper, silver or zinc that give it strength. This is why it carries the "916" hallmark — the number is simply the purity expressed as parts per thousand. Because pure 24K gold is too soft to hold intricate designs or survive daily wear, 22K is the standard for almost all Indian gold jewellery: bangles, chains, rings and wedding sets are overwhelmingly 22 carat.
When you buy 22K jewellery you pay the 22K rate per gram — today ₹13,334 — plus making charges and 3% GST. Always look for the BIS hallmark, the 22K916 stamp and a 6-digit HUID, and verify it in the BIS CARE app. Use our gold calculator to see the full price including making and GST before you buy, and compare 22K with 24 carat if you are buying for investment rather than wear.
