About 22 karat
916 means 91,6% pure gold. Indisk brudeguld og Krugerrand. The rest of the alloy is typically copper, silver, zinc or nickel, which determines the colour: more copper gives rose gold, while more silver and palladium gives white gold.
Where do you find the stamp?
Look for the three small digits on the inside of a ring, on the clasp of a chain, or on the back of a brooch. Older Danish pieces may instead be stamped with a karat mark, e.g. «14 K». If the stamp has worn away, a jeweller can test the purity in a few minutes.
What affects the price?
Only two things: the spot price of pure gold and your weight. Design, brand and age usually mean nothing when selling for melting down — only if the piece has its own collector's value.
