Behind The Gold
Gold is more than metal. It's memory. It's legacy. It's emotion made wearable.At Jewellery by Dabrai, gold isn't just what our jewellery is made of — it's what connects you to something deeper. Passed down, polished, and lived in, gold carries stories through generations.But not all gold is the same. So let’s take you behind the glow.
What Is Gold Karatage?
Karatage refers to the purity of gold. Pure gold (24 karat) is soft — too soft to be worn every day. So, it’s blended with other precious metals to make it stronger, more wearable, and often more beautiful.
Karat Purity & Notes
24kt: 99.9% — Pure, soft, not ideal for everyday wear
18kt: 75% — High purity, warmer tone, luxurious fee
14kt: 58.5% — Balanced strength and shine
9kt: 37.5% — Durable, timeless, everyday luxury
