Dhanteras 2022: 5 Things To Do While Buying Gold
1. Purchase only hallmarked jewellery: Purchasing only hallmarked jewellery is critical for ensuring quality. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmark guarantees gold purity. A piece of hallmarked jewellery guarantees the metal’s purity.
2. Inquire about making charges discounts: The shops charge making charges for the labour spent on making the jewellery. Machine-made jewellery will be less expensive than hand-made jewellery. Remember to check out the jewellery store’s specials and request a reduction in the making charges.
3. Purchase only from reputable sellers: Before purchasing any jewellery, it is critical to verify the seller’s and the gold item’s authenticity. A machine available at a jewellery store can be used to test the purity of gold. During Dhanteras, there are many black market vendors selling impure gold (mixed with other less precious metals), so only buy gold from reputable sellers.
4. Evaluate the weight: Most gold is sold by weight. Stones such as diamonds, rubies, and emeralds increase their weight. The weight of the gold should not be confused with the weight of the entire piece of jewellery.
5. Buy-back policy: Check the policy of the specific jewellery store, such as whether or not they have a buy-back policy in place. When purchasing used jewellery, some jewellery stores deduct a set amount to cover costs based on current gold prices. Do not buy gold items in haste; always check the buy-back policy before making the purchase.
