Why 22kt Gold is the Best Choice for Closed Setting Diamond Jewellery: The Glora Diamonds Advantage
When it comes to investing in high-quality diamond jewellery, the metal you choose is just as important as the diamonds themselves. Among the various options available, 22kt gold stands out as the best choice for closed setting diamond jewellery. In this blog, we will explore why 22kt gold is ideal for this setting and why Glora Diamonds is your go-to destination for expertly crafted closed setting jewellery, thanks to our skilled kaarigars (craftsmen) who have honed their craft over years of experience.
What is Closed Setting Diamond Jewellery?
Before diving into why 22kt gold is the perfect metal for this setting, let’s understand what closed setting jewellery is. In a closed setting, the diamond is securely held in place by the surrounding metal, with no prongs or exposed edges. This design allows the diamond to appear as if it's floating within the metal, creating a seamless and elegant look. Not only does it enhance the diamond's brilliance by allowing light to pass through it, but it also offers superior protection, ensuring the stone remains safe and secure.
Why Choose 22kt Gold for Closed Setting Diamond Jewellery?
1. Durability and Strength
One of the most important factors when choosing a metal for your diamond jewellery is durability. 22kt gold, composed of 91.6% pure gold, offers the perfect balance between purity and strength. While pure gold (24kt) is soft and can be prone to scratching and bending, 22kt gold provides sufficient hardness to withstand daily wear while still retaining a luxurious finish.
In a closed setting, where the diamond is encased in metal, strength is crucial to prevent the gold from warping or losing its shape over time. The superior durability of 22kt gold ensures that your diamond remains securely nestled in place, providing long-lasting protection and beauty.
2. Rich Colour and Luster
Gold’s natural colour and brilliance are unmatched, and 22kt gold offers a rich, warm hue that complements the diamonds beautifully. The subtle golden tones of 22kt gold enhance the sparkle and radiance of the diamond, making it appear even more striking.
In closed setting jewellery, the metal surrounds the diamond, and 22kt gold’s deep, rich colour creates a perfect backdrop, highlighting the diamond’s brilliance while offering an elegant and timeless aesthetic. 22kt gold has a unique hue that is especially loved by South Indian women. Its traditional and luxurious golden color has a cultural significance, symbolizing purity and prestige, making it the preferred choice for special occasions and heirloom jewellery.
3. Hypoallergenic Properties
Gold is known for its hypoallergenic qualities, meaning it is less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions. For those with sensitive skin, 22kt gold is an excellent choice for closed setting diamond jewellery, as it provides comfort and safety without compromising on style.
4. Perfect for Intricate Designs
Closed setting jewellery often involves intricate detailing, and 22kt gold is the ideal metal to work with for such designs. It is malleable enough for kaarigars to mold into various shapes and styles, ensuring that the diamond is set securely and the metalwork is flawless.

Composed of 75% pure gold, 18kt gold provides a slightly more affordable alternative without sacrificing too much on quality. It is also a bit harder than 22kt gold, making it a great choice for those seeking durability with a slightly lower price tag.
