Trust and quality
Gold itself is expensive. Gold pricing components
- Price of metal
- Design cost
- Making charges
But when we buy hallmark jewellery(22k) at that time we ensure that we do not pay any hidden charges in the form of polishing, making chargers as well as the high design cost of their product.
The quality of 22k ornaments is more reliable as compared to other carat ornaments. Also, 22k ornaments can not turn black as compared to other ornaments (20k-18k). Because hallmark jewellery has a smaller amount of alloys (8-9%) as compared to other karats this is the main reason hallmark jewellery does not turn black.
The strength of 22k jewellery is more than as compared to 24k jewellery. Because 24k is the purest form of gold this is the mean drawback of 24k gold. Without any mixing of alloys, the ornaments of 24k become very soft and the durability is less as compared to 22k products
Transparency in price
- When you buy hallmark ornaments it means that you are buying the original product with full transparency. In 2021 Indian government passed a law ‘One Nation One Rate’ for jewellery shop owners.
- They only sell hallmark products 22k with government certification by which there is less chance of any cheating with customers. Still, in other karats like 20k or 18k, there is a hidden charge in the form of high-making charges polish and high mixing of alloys.
- The maintenance of hallmark products is very easy and customers can easily exchange their old jewellery with new ones by paying a small amount or charges.
- On the other hand, 24k gold is used by gold collectors and investors to make coins and bars. But 22k is usually used for making ornaments due to its purity and durability
- Customers who sold hallmark jewellery at that time will get the high value of their ornaments compared to the low-karat ornament.
Conclusion
- In conclusion, the main difference between 22K and 24K gold lies in their purity levels, with 24K gold being 99.9% pure and 22K gold containing 91.7% pure gold, mixed with other metals like copper or silver. As a result, 24K gold is softer and more malleable, making it ideal for investment purposes or as a pure form of gold.
- On the other hand, 22K gold, while still relatively high in purity, is more durable and resistant to scratching, making it a better choice for frequently worn jewellery. The decision between 22K and 24K gold ultimately depends on the buyer’s preference for purity, durability, and intended use.
