Important Things to Consider Before Buying Gold Jewellery

Be it a wedding or a function, every woman wants to wear jewellery in a variety of ways, but when it comes to gold, the number becomes limited.

Well, if you are planning to buy gold jewellery, then definitely go for it, but some things must be kept in mind because your jewellery is not just an item of decoration; it is also an investment.

The colour of gold changes in different parts of the country. Where the golden colour will be found in North India, yellowness will be seen on the ornaments in the South.

In such a situation, many people get confused about the quality of gold. Well, you can avoid fraud by keeping the following things in mind:

Be it gold coin or jewelry, or any other item, before going to the market to mine it, definitely check the price of gold. When gold prices go down, then it would be better to buy.

How many carats are in the jewellery?

Before buying, check whether the gold is 22  or 24 carats on the jewellery. 22 karats means the purity of gold is up to 74 percent. The remaining 25 percent are other metals.

Reputation of the goldsmith shop

It is okay to buy small items from goldsmith shops on any street corner, but if you are going to buy expensive jewellery, then definitely check the reputation of the jewellery shop.

If it is a well-known brand, then it is better, because they give you a confirmed receipt of your guarantee.

Hallmark jewellery

According to the rules of the Bureau of Indian Standards, Government of India, the Hallmark mark is mandatory on the jewellery. If there is a hallmark mark, that means it has been made under international rules.

Making charge

Before buying jewellery, check the making charges. And also get it written on the receipt that how much the making charge of the jewellery is. Generally, it is different at different stores.

Melting and other charges

Many jewelers also charge for melting and other services. Make sure to find out how much wastage charge has been imposed. Because no shopkeeper deals with losses.

If he is telling you that the wastage fee is nil, it means that he has made extra profit somewhere in gold. Maybe by mixing.
