When purchasing gold, customers are often asked whether they prefer 22-carat or 24-carat purity. 24-carat gold is considered 99.9% pure and is rarely used for jewellery due to its softness. In contrast, 22-carat gold, which is approximately 91% pure, contains about 9% of other metals such as copper, silver, or zinc to enhance durability, making it the preferred choice for ornaments.
