Mixed with 8.33% copper/zinc for strength. Standard grade for Indian traditional jewellery & bridal sets.
18K Lifestyle Gold
75.0% (750 Hallmark)
Mixed with 25% other metals. Highly durable, ideal for diamond-studded rings, earrings, and daily wear.
14K Durable Gold
58.5% (585 Hallmark)
Mixed with 41.5% alloys. High resistance to scratches, common in western-style lightweight jewellery.
