21K Gold

21K means 875 parts in every thousand are pure gold. It is the most common karat in the Gulf because it balances a high gold content with a hardness that allows fine piercing and engraving.

Its colour is a clear yellow, slightly less yellow than 22K and noticeably deeper than 18K. The number 875 is what is officially hallmarked on the piece.
