Higher the purity, more malleable and softer will be the gold. Hence 24-carat gold is rarely used for jewellery as daily wear and tear will make it lose shape. The most popular for gold jewellery is 22-carat gold which has 91.67% purity. However, even 22-carat gold cannot hold diamonds and studded gems. Hence for jewellery with studded stones or diamonds, normally lower purity gold of 18-carat or 14-carat is used. Lower carat gold consists of a mix of gold with silver, nickel and zinc.
