916 916 is a quality mark indicating the purity of gold. 916 means 91.66% of pure gold. This symbol or stamp is very popular in the gold jewellery business in Asian countries like Malaysia, Singapore, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Yemen, and Gulf Countries.

This practice was pioneered and introduced in the early mid-1980s by ANS Kumbakonam Jewellers of Salem, India, sparking a revolution in India as it forced jewellers to indicate correctly the purity, and heightened consumer awareness made it a most sought-after stamp or quality mark.
