22 Carat Gold in Wedding & Bridal Jewellery
22 carat (916) gold is the traditional standard for South Asian wedding jewellery — bridal sets, dowry (dot) pieces and festival gold are almost always this purity, valued for its rich colour and high gold content while still being workable enough for intricate designs. Because these pieces are often bought and valued in larger units, jewellers and buyers commonly ask for the 22 carat gold price per 10 grams rather than per single gram — the calculator below gives you both instantly.
