What Is 21K Gold?
21K gold is 21 parts gold to 3 parts alloy, or 87.5% pure, stamped 875. The extra alloy compared with 22K makes it noticeably tougher, so it holds up better to daily wear while keeping a rich yellow colour.
In Pakistan, 21K is common for everyday jewellery such as chains, rings, bangles and earrings that are worn all the time rather than kept for occasions. Much of the jewellery sold in local bazaars as "jewellery gold" is in fact 21K, which is one reason testing matters.
21K is also the main jewellery karat in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the wider Gulf. Overseas Pakistanis bringing gold home, or comparing Gulf and Pakistani prices, are usually comparing 21K. Using this page's rate, you can check whether a Gulf price is a good deal once you convert the currency.
What 21K Gold Is Best For
- Everyday jewellery: chains, rings, earrings
- Pieces that need to survive daily wear
- Comparing prices with gold bought in Saudi Arabia or the UAE
- A lower price per tola than 22K with a similar look
How the 21K Rate Is Calculated
The daily benchmark announced by the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA) is a 24K per-tola rate, built from the international gold price and the USD-PKR exchange rate. 21K is priced as 21/24 of it, because 87.5% of a 21K piece is pure gold.
Today: Rs 410,000 (24K per tola) × 21/24 = Rs 358,750 per tola
One tola is 11.664 grams, the standard weight in Pakistan's sarafa bazaars. Read more in our guide to traditional gold weights in Pakistan.
Tips for Buying 21K Gold in Pakistan
- Make sure the receipt says 21K, not just "gold", and that the price uses the 21K rate rather than the 22K rate.
- Look for a 875 or 21K stamp, and have the piece tested if the shop can't show certification.
- When comparing a Gulf price, convert it to rupees and to tola (11.664 g) before comparing it with this rate.
- Remember that customs rules apply when bringing gold into Pakistan; check the current allowance before you travel.
