GOLD PURITY & CHART
24 karat gold, also known as pure gold or 24K gold, is extremely malleable and unsuitable for jewellery making. As a result, pure gold is alloyed with other metals, including silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and palladium (Pd), to make it durable and more suitable for making jewellery. Aside from strengthening the metal, alloying allows for the creation of coloured gold. White gold and rose gold are the most popular gold colours nowadays.
