When you visit shops to learn about gold prices, you come to know about different types of gold. These different types of gold may confuse you. These types are based on different categories. So let's give a brief info on it. 

 

Based on Color

There are mainly 3 types of gold in jewellery: yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold.

 

Yellow Gold: This is the original color of gold and commonly used gold in the jewellery shop. So most people when hearing about gold they think about this version of gold. However, gold is found in pure form which is too soft and can easily be bent. So some harder metals are mixed to keep it in shape.

 

White Gold: As 36% couples opt to use white gold, it is mostly popular for its use in engagement rings. This type of gold is created by mixing pure gold with white alloy metals like platinum and silver.

 

Rose Gold: Rose gold or pink gold, is made by mixing pure gold with copper alloys. It is budget friendly as it uses copper to achieve its rose hue.

 

However, there are other types of gold too. Blue, purple, green, black are some other ones which are created using different alloys.

 

Based on Percentage

Percentage means types of gold based on gold carats (or karat). Pure gold is 24 carats, so it does not contain any other metals. However, pure gold is soft and can easily bend, so different alloys are mixed.

 

24 Karat: 24 kart is the purest of all because it contains 99.9% pure yellow gold. However, this type of gold is mainly used for investment purposes because it is pure and not suitable for everyday wear.

 

22 Karat: This is stronger than 24 carats with 91.6% purity. It is popular in countries like India and the Middle East, because it offers balance between purity and strength.

 

18 Karat: One of the most commonly used golds for jewellery products. White gold and rose gold can be made from this 18K gold.

 

However, there are 14k, 10k, and 9k gold too. They are used in different jewellery shops and have other values.

Why Does the Gold Price in Bangladesh Change?

Gold Price changes impact gold ornaments price in Bangladesh. The gold price in Bangladesh has crossed the Tk 100,000 Taka mark per bhori for the first time in July 2023.

 

Pure gold prices increase every time there is a supply crisis and volatility in the domestic market. Gold prices have risen by double since the end of 2021. A Bajus report says - the annual demand for gold is between 20-40 metric tons in Bangladesh.

 

Due to the global gold market price change, our local gold price also changes. This is the normal scenario for gold prices to rise in Bangladesh irrespective of the country’s inflation.

 

VAT on imported gold is another factor that affects the price. The Bangladeshi government can lower or withdraw the VAT on gold imports. Bangladesh imposes a 5 per cent duty on the type of gold it imports. This would encourage jewellery businessmen to legally purchase more gold from foreign countries, for their gold businesses, and ultimately, gold prices would not rise.

 

Bangladesh Jewellery Association addressed another big reason: smuggling. According to BAJUS, the price of gold could be lower, but gold smuggling is a big reason for its price hike. A large amount of Gold is smuggled every year to neighbouring countries. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) is trying to stop this smuggling with strict actions. Yet, the gold smuggling has continued.
