What is the rate of 18 carat gold today?

18 carat gold is not the purest form of the yellow metal but a lot of people purchase it because of its affordability as it is cheaper than 24K and 22K gold. It contains 75% gold and 25% other metals, making it more durable than 22K gold.
Buyers use 18K gold mainly in jewellery. During the festive season, the demand for 18K gold is high as people consider buying gold on Dhanteras and Diwali as auspicious.

When purchasing 18K gold jewellery, it’s important to look for proper hallmarking to ensure authenticity. Every hallmarked gold item carries a Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) number, which is a six-digit alphanumeric code unique to each piece. This number allows complete traceability and transparency in gold purchases.
Buyers can verify the HUID number through the official BIS Care App using the ‘Verify HUID’ feature. This ensures that the gold item meets the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmarking norms and offers peace of mind to customers investing in certified gold jewellery.
