91.7% pure · 22/24 · hallmarked 91622K is 91.7% gold — twenty-two parts gold to two parts alloy, stamped 916. That small amount of copper and silver is enough to hold a shape without dulling the deep yellow that buyers in South Asia and the Gulf associate with real gold.
It is the wedding-and-inheritance karat: bangles, heavy necklaces and the sets given at marriage, bought as much for the weight they hold as for the design. India in particular prices most of its jewellery trade at 916, and the hallmark is checked as routine.
The trade-off is durability. 22K still marks more easily than 18K, so it suits pieces worn on occasions rather than rings worn daily through washing-up and work — which is why the same shop will sell you a 22K necklace and an 18K ring without contradiction.
