Reading a Hallmark: 22K, 21K and 18K

The stamp inside your jewellery tells you how much of it is pure gold.

• 22K (916) — 91.6% gold. Rich colour, ideal for bridal and traditional pieces.
• 21K (875) — a touch stronger, popular for everyday bangles and hoops.
• 18K (750) — 75% gold, strong enough to hold diamonds safely.
• Always ask for the weight and purity on your invoice.

If it is not hallmarked, it is a promise you cannot check.
