What 22k, 21k and 18k are worth
Jewellery is rarely pure — other metals are mixed in for strength. Its gold value is simply the 24k price multiplied by the purity fraction:
Popular for jewellery — durable yet rich in colour.
A middle path: high purity with a harder finish.
Everyday-wear purity, common in Western jewellery.
Why you pay a little more than spot
The price above is the market price — the value of raw gold. When you buy a real piece, you pay spot plus a modest premium that covers verification, minting or crafting, and secure delivery.
Investment bars and coins carry the smallest premiums, often just a few percent. Jewellery carries making charges on top of the gold value, which is why two 22k chains of the same weight can differ in price.
The honest way to compare is not "how close to spot" alone, but what you get: verified purity, proper paperwork and resale value. A slightly higher premium on a genuine, assay-verified piece beats a bargain price on metal nobody can prove.
