Understanding Gold Purity: 916 vs 999
Gold purity is measured in karats, with 24K (999 gold) being the purest form. However, pure gold’s softness makes it impractical for everyday jewellery. This is where 916 gold (22K) shines—crafted with 91.6% pure gold and 8.4% durable alloys like copper or silver, it’s designed to withstand daily wear while retaining timeless beauty. At Glamor Gold, we specialize in 916 gold jewellery, blending purity with practicality.
Why 916 Gold Dominates Everyday Jewellery
916 gold’s alloy mix makes it stronger and scratch-resistant, perfect for intricate rings, bracelets, and necklaces that face daily use. While 999 gold is stunning, its softness limits it to occasional wear (e.g., ceremonial pieces). For Malaysians leading active lifestyles, 916 gold is the smart choice—it holds its shape, preserves delicate designs, and stays radiant for years.
The Beauty of Balance: 916 Gold’s Timeless Appeal
999 gold has a deeper yellow hue, but its softness often requires a minimalist design to avoid damage. 916 gold, on the other hand, offers a warmer, versatile tone that complements gemstones and intricate patterns. At Glamor Gold, our 916 gold collections showcase detailed filigree, traditional motifs, and modern styles—proving durability doesn’t compromise elegance.
Malaysia’s Love Affair with 916 Gold
In Malaysia, 916 gold isn’t just a preference—it’s a tradition. Its durability makes it ideal for heirlooms passed through generations, while its affordability compared to 999 gold ensures accessibility. At Glamor Gold, we honour this legacy by crafting bespoke 916 gold jewellery that balances cultural heritage with contemporary craftsmanship.
Why Glamor Gold Recommends 916 Gold
While 999 gold suits collectors, 916 gold is the heart of fine jewellery. Its strength allows for bold, customizable designs, and its slightly lighter hue pairs beautifully with all skin tones. As experts in 916 gold jewellery, Glamor Gold ensures every piece—from wedding bands to statement necklaces—is crafted to last a lifetime.
