Understanding 24K purity
24K / 999 is the highest-purity category used on this site and is commonly used as a bullion and benchmark reference. Purity should be kept separate from making charges, product premiums and taxes.
How to compare a quoted 24K rate
Match the same purity, unit and update time. A per-gram benchmark can be multiplied by weight for a metal-value reference, but the final jewellery or bullion price can include additional product-specific costs.
IBJA and BIS context
IBJA publishes benchmark rates for multiple fineness categories and says its published rates are without 3% GST and making charges. BIS hallmarking provides the official purity/fineness framework for hallmarked jewellery and uses a unique HUID identifier.
