22k vintage Indian high karat gold mini pendants with textured dome, 16mm long
These are the partners your best gemstones beads have been waiting for!
High Karat Gold (18k and above) is strongly favored in India, the higher the better
However, 24K gold (100% pure gold) is too soft for jewelry, so 22k (91.7% gold) the next best thing, is used for the best jewelry. We love it rich warm color.
18k (75% gold) is best when more durability is needed, for example when setting stones, for clasps, and for beads and jewelry that can withstand the rigors of being worn daily, rather than just for ceremonies and special events.
In India gold is associated with goddess Laksmi and symbolizes prosperity, wealth, good fortune and general auspiciousness.
Gold jewelry is very important in wedding ceremonies, and is passed down through families, although the jewelry designs may be reworked, and change from generation to generation.
