Understanding 22 Carat and 24 Carat Gold Prices
Gold is often categorised by its purity. 24 carat gold is considered pure gold, and hence it commands a higher price. On the other hand, 22 carat gold contains a small amount of other metals, making it more durable but slightly less expensive than 24 carat gold. For those looking for a more affordable option, 18ct gold is another popular choice, especially in jewellery.
