22k

Nearly pure gold

22k denotes 22-karat gold, an alloy containing 22 parts gold to 2 parts other metals—about 91.7% pure gold.

This purity is common in fine jewelry, particularly in South Asian and Middle Eastern markets, offering a balance between gold's rich color and enough hardness for daily wear.

She inherited a 22k gold necklace from her grandmother.
