What does 916 hallmark mean?
The 916 hallmark indicates that the gold item contains 916 parts per thousand of pure gold, which corresponds to 22 karat purity (91.6%). In India, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) mandates this hallmark on all 22K gold jewelry to certify its purity and protect consumers.
Is 22K gold good for jewelry?
22K gold is excellent for jewelry, especially ornate and traditional designs. It has a rich, deep yellow color due to its high gold content and is durable enough for necklaces, bangles, and earrings. However, it is softer than 18K or 14K gold, so it may not be ideal for rings or pieces subject to heavy daily wear.
