Question

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> What is 916 gold? Why is it used?

Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> 916 gold refers to a mixture of gold, which contains 91.6% gold by weight. The remaining 8.4% contains copper, silver, or nickel, or a mixture of these.

Pure gold is softer than 916 gold, which makes it unsuitable for making jewellery. 916 gold is mainly used to make jewellery.
