About this fineness
22K is markedly harder than pure gold, suiting both circulating coins and jewellery. In Dubai and India the '22K per gram' rate is the benchmark of the gold souk — it tracks the exchange price plus a local premium.

Frequently asked questions
How much is 1 gram of 22K gold today?
The pure-gold content of 1 gram of 22K alloy is worth about $118.49 (91.60% of the per-gram market price). Retail sells above this value; buy-back pays below it.
Why do pawnshops pay less?
Buy-back values only the pure gold (91.6% of the item's weight) minus a refining/risk discount. Craftsmanship, brand and stones do not count in scrap pricing.
How does 916 fineness map to karats?
916 fine equals 22K: one karat is a 1/24 share of gold, so karats = fineness × 24 ÷ 1000.
