Why 18K Gold Jewellery Is Everyone’s New Favourite?
Few things in life hold the kind of universal value and timeless appeal that gold does. It is no wonder, then, that choosing to buy gold jewellery – be it for yourself or a loved one – often feels like an easy, even joyful, decision. But once you get past the idea and into the actual process of buying, the choices can get overwhelming. After all, gold is not something you typically buy on a whim; there are a few important things to consider first. And on top of that list is the purity of gold – most commonly expressed in karats. Among the many options out there, 18K gold jewellery offers the most value for money that you could get. With its attractive hues, balanced composition, and elegant versatility, it is a perfect blend of beauty and practicality. But what exactly is 18K gold, and why is it such a popular choice? Let’s take a closer look. What Is 18K Gold and How Is Purity Measured? As mentioned earlier, the purity of gold, especially in jewellery, is typically expressed in karats (K). Karats measure gold purity as a fraction of 24. So, 24 karat (24K) gold is considered pure gold. Another way to represent gold purity is through a system called fineness, which expresses the amount of pure gold in parts per thousand. This unit is more commonly used for gold bars and bullion than for jewellery. Here, pure gold is marked as 999.9 fine, indicating 999.9 parts of gold out of a 1000.  Why Pure Gold Isn’t Always the Best Choice While pure gold is definitely the most valuable form, it is also quite soft and malleable, which makes it less ideal for crafting jewellery. Imagine someone gifting you a pair of stunning gold bangles and they bend the first time you try to put them on! To make gold stronger and more suitable for intricate jewellery work, other metals such as copper, silver, zinc, or nickel are added. These combinations form gold alloys, which enhance durability and allow jewellers to craft meticulous ornaments. For example: 22 karat gold contains 22 parts gold and 2 parts other metals, making it 91.6% pure. This is what’s commonly referred to as 916 gold. 18 karat gold is made up of 75% gold and 25% other metals, giving it a fineness of 750. In other words, it is 3 parts pure gold and 1 part alloy. Lower karats such as 14K (58.3% gold) or 10K (41.7% gold) contain even less gold, and while they are more affordable and durable, they lack the rich tone and prestige of higher-karat jewellery. All these different standards of gold serve unique purposes. Among them, 18K gold is one of the most popular choices in jewellery along with 22K. However, with gold prices reaching the stratosphere, many now find it affordable to opt for 18 karats instead of 22. But that’s not all; 18K gold also offers several advantages you won’t get with other options. What Makes 18 Karat Gold So Popular? We have already seen that the extent to which other metals are present in gold jewellery significantly changes the overall properties. In this regard, one of the most noticeable factors is durability. The purer the gold, the softer and more prone it is to bending, scratching, and losing shape over time. While 24 karat gold is pure and visually striking, its softness makes it unsuitable for most types of jewellery. Karat ValueGold Purity (%)Common StampKey FeaturesGold Content24K99.9%999 or 999.9Pure gold, soft, not ideal for jewellery████████████22K91.6%916High purity, high price, not ideal for regular wear███████████▒18K75%750Affordable, durable, ideal for everyday wear█████████▒▒▒14K58.3%583 or 585Affordable and durable, lighter in tone███████▒▒▒▒▒10K41.7%417Very durable, low gold content, budget-friendly█████▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ Table : An overview of how different karats compare The Perfect Balance of Purity, Durability and Everyday Useability With 22 karat gold, the durability improves, but it still requires careful handling and may not be the best option if you are planning to wear your ornaments daily. This is where 18K gold jewellery shines – quite literally. With 75% gold and 25% strengthening metals, 18 karat strikes the ideal balance between gold purity and material quality.  Remember that stunning pair of gold bangles which bent quite easily? If it were made from 18 karats, you would not run into such problems. 18K gold is harder and more scratch-resistant than higher-karat gold, while consisting of more gold than lower-karat gold. This makes it suitable for crafting ornaments like gold chains, rings, bracelets, bangles, and earrings that can be worn everyday. A Rich Golden Hue That Stands Out Another key advantage of 18K gold jewellery is its alluring colour. The addition of other metals can subtly shift gold’s hue. While lower karats may result in paler or more muted tones, 18K gold retains a vibrant, warm golden hue that’s both classic and elegant. Many consider this rich colour to be the perfect embodiment of gold’s natural beauty. The allure of gold often lies in its ability to spellbind onlookers at first sight – and this magic is at its strongest with 18K gold. So if you’ve been eyeing that 18K gold necklace and earring set for a while, rest assured – its radiant colour is sure to shine bright. Design-Friendly and Versatile For artisans, 18K gold provides the perfect medium to showcase their creativity and skill. Its balanced composition makes it easier to mould and shape, allowing jewellers to create more intricate, detailed, and artistic pieces. And for you wonderful souls, that translates to a larger collection of elegant designs to choose from. This is one of the reasons why 18K gold is commonly used to make engagement rings and other gold jewellery that require detailed designing. Perfect for Sensitive Skin The presence of some metal alloys in jewellery can cause irritation or allergic reactions, especially for people with sensitive skin. However, due to the relatively high gold content and lower proportion of reactive metals, 18 karat gold is generally considered hypoallergenic. This makes it a safe choice for anyone who wants to wear their favourite jewellery pieces comfortably, every day. A Few Trade-Offs to Keep in Mind So, should you rush to buy that 18K women’s gold necklace without a second thought? Honestly, why not! In fact, we can even throw in a few design suggestions that are bound to turn your head. Still, it is always a good idea to weigh both sides before making a choice. As you have probably gathered by now, there are a couple of areas where other gold karats may have the edge over 18K – depending on what you’re looking for. It’s Expensive than Lower Karats With 75% pure gold content, 18K jewellery naturally comes with a higher price tag. It is more affordable than 22K, but still significantly more expensive than 14K or 10K gold. If you are working with a tight budget, you might want to consider waiting until you are ready to invest in a piece that truly speaks to you. You can check the live 18 carat gold jewellery rate and compare it with 24 and 22K rates on the Jos Alukkas website. Not the Hardest Option Out There One of the key reasons pure gold (and even 22K) is not recommended for everyday wear is because of its softness. While 18K gold offers a much sturdier alternative, it still does not match the resilience of 14K or 10K gold when it comes to scratch resistance and overall hardness. These lower-karat options are often better suited for jewellery that’s exposed to a lot of daily wear and tear. However, these are not dealbreakers. Choosing the right kind of gold depends on your needs and lifestyle. Generally speaking, if you are looking for a gold jewellery that strikes a balance between high purity of gold and elegance, and if it is something you would love to flaunt often, then 18K gold just might be the ideal match for you. Popular 18K Gold Jewellery Pieces 18 kt Ivy Rose Gold Necklace 18K gold bracelet for ladies – a blend of style and comfort Stylish Moon pearl 18 kt Ivy Rose Gold Bracelet Lustre Glow Diamond Necklace Why Buying 18 Karat Makes Sense! In less than five years, the price of pure gold has doubled – from around ₹5,000 per gram in June 2020 to over ₹10,000 in April 2025. It is safe to say that 18 karat gold has emerged as a clear-cut option in this scenario. Beyond its rich colour, strength, variety of designs, and everyday wearability, it offers a perfect middle ground – high purity without the high price tag. As more people recognize its value, we are seeing a clear shift in the jewellery world, with 18K becoming the go-to standard for many. So if you have been eyeing that particular 18 karat piece, don’t hold back – make it yours, and wear it with pride. FAQs About 18K Gold Jewellery Is 18K gold good for daily wear? Yes, 18 karat gold is considered quite suitable for ornaments that are worn daily. Since it is strong and durable, it won’t easily scratch, bend or lose shape. It also has that golden glow and luster. If you are buying 22 karat gold, it is generally considered not suitable for daily wear. Does 18K gold tarnish? No, 18K gold does not tarnish easily because it contains a high percentage of pure gold, which is resistant to tarnishing. What is the difference between 18K and 22K gold? Both are alloys with varying amounts of gold. 22K gold consists of 91.67% gold, while 18K gold is made up of 75% gold and 25% alloys. Because of this difference in composition, 18K gold is less expensive, more durable, and easier to work with than 22K gold. How to clean and maintain 18K gold jewellery? Cleaning 18K gold jewellery is quite an easy process. Soak the jewellery in a mixture of mild soap and warm water for a few minutes, then gently scrub it using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Is 18K gold jewellery expensive? 18K gold jewellery is generally considered a more affordable option compared to 22K gold. However, it is still more expensive than lower karats like 14K and 10K due to its higher gold content.

The Ultimate Guide to Stacking Bangles and Bracelets for Every Occasion
Your Wrist, Your Canvas Your wrist is more than just a place for adornment - think of it as a canvas that tells your story without words. And gold bangles? They are your storytellers. Stacking gold jewellery is not just a trend; it’s art, a layered symphony of memories, moods and moments embedded in metal, gems and textures. Let your bangles speak your story - effortlessly stylish, beautifully you.  If you’re a fan of collecting bracelets, then you’ve likely attempted stacking them at least once in your life - maybe you observed it on a fashionable friend, or maybe you started the trend! Whether you discovered it here first or elsewhere, bracelet stacking is a classic style play that never loses its luster. It’s simply about stacking two or even five bracelets to make a shining little work of art on your wrist.  Ready to craft your own masterpiece? Here’s a beginner’s guide to get you started: Tips to Stack Your Bangles Like a Stylist Start with a Signature Piece Pick your “statement” bangle — a kada, a chunky cuff or a diamond-studded beauty. It will form your base; it sets the tone for your entire stack.   Mix Metals with Grace Stack gold with rose gold, or silver with oxidized metal. Mixing metals gives a contemporary, layered look. Just make sure you have a leading tone, so it all feels deliberate, not like a mess. Layer Textures Like Stories Matte metal bangle paired with a shiny one. Or a polished diamond cuff next to a rustic gemstone ring. Contrasts create visual interest, just like the highs and lows in life’s journey.  Add a Touch of Diamond Sparkle A diamond-kissed bangle adds sophistication. Let it be that shimmer in your stack, refracting light—and attention—with every move. Mind the Balance and Proportions Mix thick and thin. Stack odd numbers. Try to cover about a third of your forearm. Ensure that the bangles aren’t too tight or too loose - they should move freely but stay close. Personalize It with Meaning Add that bracelet your best friend gave you. Or a charm that reminds you of your goals. Maybe even that one piece from your first paycheck.  This is what makes your stack not just stylish, but soulful. Match the Mood and Occasion Daily Look: Simple metal + fabric + one charm. Office Wear: Sleek cuffs + small diamond piece. Festive/Fusion: Glass + gold + stones + texture galore. Evening Glam: Metallic base + diamonds + minimal elegance. Experiment, Evolve, Express Don’t be afraid to play! Your stack should evolve—just like your style. Keep changing combinations, trying new tones, adding layers.  How to Layer Your Bracelets Like a Pro 1. Pick a Metal Theme If you’re just stepping into the stacking game, one simple trick to give your stack an intentional feel is to pick bracelets in the same metal color. Love the glow of gold? Stack two or three gold pieces together. Prefer the cool sparkle of silver? Go for it! By sticking to one metal color, you create a harmonious, elegant effect — like a single big, fabulous bracelet made out of distinct, separate parts. 2. Mix Up the Styles Just because you’re using the same metal doesn’t mean that every bracelet has to look the same. Pair a slim bangle next to a chunky link bracelet for a touch of “wrist wow.” Variation adds visual appeal and makes your stack stand out! 3. Create a Focal Point Give your stack a star! Choose one standout piece, maybe a bold cuff bracelet, something with eye-catching stones, or even a charm bracelet. Let that be your focal point. And surround it with simpler pieces to let it shine. 4. Play with Numbers For stacking, odd numbers usually work best. Three, five, seven — there’s just something satisfying about it! But whether you wear two or nine bracelets, there’s really only one rule: wear what feels good to you. 5. Bring in the Color Gemstone bracelets are a wonderful way to bring some color to your stack. Semi-precious stones like amethyst, citrine, or turquoise are wearable every day and open you up to limitless creativity. Playing with color adds an artsy, fun spirit to your stack. 6. Get Eclectic Once you're comfortable, throw out the rulebook and go wild! Mix metals, add beads, layer leather with silver. Bracelet stacking is like painting a canvas; it’s all about freedom, creativity, and expressing yourself. 7. Bracelets and Watches Curious if you can wear bracelets and a watch together? Absolutely! Placing a thin bracelet on either side of your watch can create an intentional look. Just keep proportions in mind, pair dainty watches with more delicate bracelets, and larger watches with chunkier pieces.  FAQs: Everything You Wondered About Bangle and Bracelet Stacking Q1. How many bangles/bracelets should I stack at once? There's no strict rule. But wearing an odd number of bangles (like three or five) creates a balanced appearance. Consider the occasion and your comfort.​ Q2. Can I mix traditional and modern bangles? Absolutely! Wear a traditional kada with sleek minimalist bracelets, or a  temple design with modern metallics. Q3. What if I don’t like too much noise or jingling? Use cuffs, fabric bangles/bracelets or tighter metal bangles. Skip glass or loose-fitting ones that jingle more. Q4. Can I wear bangles/bracelets with a watch? Yes! Just be mindful of balance. Place the watch on one wrist and stack bangles on the other, or blend thin bangles with your watch for a layered look. Similarly, pair dainty watches with more delicate bracelets, and larger watches with chunkier pieces. Q5. How do I care for my bangle/bracelet stack? Keep them in pouches, stored separately, to avoid scratches. Keep them away from water, perfumes, and rough handling, especially with glass bangles.  Conclusion:  Bracelets and Bangles are a fun way to express your personality. Whether you love simple styles or bold colors, there’s no “right” way to stack – just your way. So go ahead, experiment, and have fun! Let Your Bracelets and Bangles - Jingle and Mingle!

Akshaya Tritiya 2025: A Golden Day to Begin Something Beautiful with Jos Alukkas.
You know those days when everything just feels a little brighter? When the sun seems warmer, your heart feels lighter, and there’s a sense of hope in the air ? Akshaya Tritiya is one of those special days. It's not just another date on the calendar - it’s a day filled with blessings and opportunities. And today, that golden day is finally here, April 30, 2025. It’s Time to Open the Doors to Prosperity, Joy, and New Beginnings. What is Akshaya Tritiya? A Day Of Unlimited Prosperity The term Akshaya Tritiya is derived from two Sanskrit words, “Akshaya” means any amount of blessing or infinity, and “Tritiya” which stands for the third day. It is celebrated in the bright half of the Vaishakha month. This day is believed to be so auspicious that whatever you begin or invest on this day, multiplies. According to Hindu mythology, This day marks the beginning of the Treta Yuga. It is also believed to be the birthday of Lord Parshuram, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu. Why is Gold the Star of Akshaya Tritiya? Purchasing gold on Akshaya Tritiya is more than just a trend. It’s a sign — of fortune, of favor, of wealth that never fades. Here’s why: Gold personifies the Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. It's said that if you return gold to your abode, you’re inviting her into your space. Gold is timeless. It never loses its value, just like the hopes and prayers you are investing in this special day. It connects generations. That bit of gold sold to you today, might become a prized heirloom tomorrow, holding love and memories and blessings forward.
