Understanding high-purity gold — coins, bullion, and traditional jewelry
This calculator values 22K (91.7% pure) and 24K (99.9% pure) gold items at live spot prices. High-purity gold is used in bullion bars, investment coins, and traditional jewelry from South Asia and the Middle East.
24K gold (999.9 fine) is the purest form available — used exclusively for investment bullion bars (1g to 1kg) and premium coins. 22K gold (916) adds 8.3% alloy for durability, making it suitable for frequently handled coins like the American Gold Eagle and South African Krugerrand. Both purities trade at minimal discounts to spot price.
In India and the Middle East, 22K (916) gold is the cultural standard for jewelry. Indian wedding sets, Arabic necklaces, and Gulf gold souq pieces are almost always 22K. These items are often heavier than Western jewelry (20–150g for sets) and represent substantial melt value. The "916" hallmark is regulated by India's Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
22K and 24K gold are the easiest karats to sell at high payout ratios. Refineries offer 90–97% of melt for clean, high-purity scrap. Gold coins may be worth more than melt if they have numismatic (collector) value — check the coin's year, mintage, and condition before scrapping. Bullion bars typically trade at spot ± 1–3%.
