how many carat is kdm gold?
Hi Krishika,
KDM gold refers to gold jewellery made using cadmium (KDM) soldering. The KDM gold is mostly available in 22 carats which means it contains 91.6% pure gold and the rest is alloy mixed with cadmium for better strength and durability. However, it’s important to note that KDM gold is no longer widely used because cadmium can be harmful during the jewellery-making process. Most jewellers today use hallmarked BIS 22K gold, which ensures purity and safety standards while maintaining the same 22-carat quality.
