CASH
FOR GOLD
We
buy all kinds of Gold jewellery, coins, watches, etc. of any karat, purity,
weight or quantity.
Both the lower and upper income class see the shiny metal as
insurance to bring in financial and social protection. In fact, Gold can be liquidated
instantly for any medical emergencies or financial crisis, proving that gold is
seen more than a luxurious commodity, but is seen as a basic financial
commodity, similar to insurance or financial savings.
All of this proves that in a country, where social security is low
and insurance has not reached all the markets, gold is not just a luxury of the
rich, but also a saviour to the poor.
We
at ‘Kundan Cash for Gold’ always intend to
provide you the best possible value of your gold belongings that too in a
legitimate manner.
We undertake
a full and comprehensive
testing process to
verify the quality of the metal. In most cases, the price we have agreed to buy
your gold at is the price we pay. However, you should be aware that any
discrepancies in the condition, type of metals and grading quality can affect
the valuation. If there are any issues in the consideration amount you are free to accept or reject.
The
Different Karats of Gold
Karat is the term used to measure the gold
content or purity. Before we understand the difference between 24k, 22k and 18k
gold, you must know what karat stands for. Karat is basically a unit used to measure the purity of gold. The higher the karatage, the purer the gold.
Here’s a simple guide to understanding the difference between 24k, 22k,18k &
14k gold.
24Karat Gold
24k gold is also called pure gold or 100 per cent gold. It is known to be 99.9 per cent pure and takes on a
distinct bright yellow color. There is no higher form of gold than 24K. Since
this is the purest form of gold, it is naturally more expensive than any other
karat gold. However, this type of gold is lesser in density as compared to gold
of a lower karatage which makes it soft and pliable. Hence, it is not suited
for regular forms of jewellery. Coins and bars are mostly produced in 24K gold purity.
22Karat
Gold
This kind of gold
is commonly used in jewellery making. 22K gold jewellery implies that 91.67 percent of the net weight of the item amounts to gold and the balance
part are some other metals. The other 8.33 per cent comprises metals like
silver, copper, zinc, nickel and other alloys. It is this addition of metals
that make the texture of gold harder thereby making the jewellery durable.
However, you must know that although this can be used to make plain gold jewellery, 22K gold isn’t preferable for diamonds and heavily studded
jewellery.
18Karat Gold
18K gold is 75 per cent gold mixed with 25 per cent of other metals like copper or silver
etc. This kind of gold is less expensive compared to 24K and 22K. This one has
a slightly dull gold color. Recognizing 18K jewellery is rather simple – you
will see the item stamped with 18K, 18Kt,
750, 0.75 or a stamp similar to these in order to symbolize that the
jewellery contains 75 per cent gold.
14Karat Gold
14K gold is 58.50 per cent gold mixed other metals like copper, silver, zinc, nickel,
cadmium etc. Usually studded jewellery and other diamond jewellery are made in
14K gold.
