22K Gold Price History
About 22K Gold
22 karat gold is 22 parts gold to 2 parts alloy, a purity of 91.67%. It is the traditional standard for Indian, Pakistani and Middle Eastern jewellery, where pieces are bought as much for their gold content as for their design.
You will usually see it stamped 22K, 22KT or 916. The 22KT gold price per gram is the same as the 22K gold price because both marks indicate 91.67% gold. The 916 mark means 91.6% gold, effectively the same purity.
At this purity the metal is soft and marks easily, so 22K is used for bangles, chains and coins more often than for stone settings. Melt value per gram sits within 9% of pure gold.
Price per gram is calculated from the pure gold spot price and gold purity. How prices are calculated
