Gold Jewellery Guide
Gold jewellery has been cherished for centuries, symbolizing wealth, beauty, and timeless elegance. At Panjab Jewellers, we take pride in offering exquisite gold pieces that celebrate tradition while embracing modern styles. Whether you’re purchasing gold for investment, gifting, or personal adornment, understanding gold’s qualities and care is essential for making the perfect choice.
Gold purity is measured in karats, with 24 karat (24K) representing pure gold. However, pure gold is soft and not ideal for everyday wear, so it is often alloyed with other metals to increase durability. The most popular purities are 22K (approximately 91.6% pure gold) and 18K (75% pure gold), both offering a beautiful balance between richness and strength. Lower karat gold, such as 14K or 10K, contains more alloy metals, making it more durable but less pure.
Each piece of gold jewellery should bear a hallmark stamp verifying its karat and authenticity. At Panjab Jewellers, we ensure all our gold items are hallmarked by authorized institutions, providing you with confidence in the purity and quality of your purchase.
Gold jewellery comes in a variety of styles, from traditional South Asian designs to contemporary minimalist pieces. It can be crafted into necklaces, bangles, rings, earrings, and intricate bridal sets. The warm, lustrous glow of gold complements all skin tones and suits every occasion, whether casual or ceremonial.
When selecting gold jewellery, consider your lifestyle and how often you plan to wear the piece. Higher karat gold is more suitable for special occasions due to its softness, while lower karat gold offers better resistance to scratches and dents, making it ideal for daily wear.
To keep your gold jewellery looking its best, regular cleaning and proper storage are important. Clean gold pieces gently with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. Store your jewellery separately in soft pouches or lined boxes to prevent tangling and scratching.
Gold also reacts with chemicals such as chlorine and perfumes, which can dull its shine or cause damage. It’s best to remove your gold jewellery before swimming, applying cosmetics, or doing household chores involving cleaning products.
Investing in gold jewellery from Panjab Jewellers means choosing pieces crafted with care, backed by authenticity, and designed to last for generations. Whether as a gift, an heirloom, or a personal treasure, gold jewellery holds enduring value and beauty.
