Turkish gold in Cologne
Keupstraße in Cologne-Mülheim is known far beyond the city – including for its gold shops. They mainly trade 22-carat gold (916): wide bangles, wedding gold and coins such as Çeyrek, Yarım and Tam. This gold has a much higher fineness than typical German jewellery and is worth correspondingly more per gram.
585 or 916? The difference in euros
A 22-carat bangle contains 91.6% fine gold, a German 585 ring only 58.5%. At the same weight, the 22-carat bangle is therefore worth more than half as much again. So always check the hallmark – Turkish jewellery is often stamped “22K” or “916”.
