As mole is a measurement,like carat is also a measurement for gold(mainly native metals)
This gold is more commonly marketable in ornamental form. Due to its pliable nature, 22-karat gold can easily be moulded into jewellery. The 22-karat stands for 22 parts of gold and 2parts of another metal, which is mixed to make the gold more malleable. This means when purchasing 100% 22karat gold bar 91.67 per cent is pure gold; remaining 8.33 per cent comprises additive metals like silver, zinc, nickel and other alloys. Hence, unlike 24-karat gold, 22-karat gold may be cheaper but is lesser weight of gold for once money.
