With we think of gold what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Making charges, Karats, old-fashioned or chunky jewellery might be some of your first thoughts. But what if gold could be more than that? And what if it Already Is? Wouldn’t That be something? Check out this guide.

Gold has been a part of our nation since forever. From being known as the Golden Bird to this day, this precious metal has been winning hearts everywhere and has even moved on to the western world. However, gold has always been thought of as an investment or more so, a jewellery piece that’s always been kept in the locker. But it’s time to break away from those customs. This guide will show you how.

However, before we hit those questions, what are the few things that you Absolutely should check before purchasing gold jewellery? How should you know that the gold jewellery price is right and with genuine BIS certification? Well, we’re here with this guide to solve those questions for you!

Here’s what you should check first:

1.       Gold Purity:

Whenever you inspect the jewellery, amongst the first thing to check is the karats. One of the purest forms of hallmark gold is 24 karats, which basically means that it is 99.9% pure. The higher the percentage of gold in your jewellery, the higher the karat will be. However, 24 karats is not suitable for making jewellery and that brings us to 22k gold (91% purity) which is widely used. The price of the product also depends on what karat you’re going for. So whenever you’re looking for gold jewellery design, make sure to ask what karat it is!

2.       BIS Certification:

The next important bit in line is the certification, which means BIS hallmarked jewellery. BIS hallmark means that that jewellery has passed the national and international standards of finesse and purity. In simpler terms, if you’re looking to shop for 22k gold jewellery online, check for a stamp that has a 916 hallmark. This basically means that a 22k which has a purity of 91.6% (916 derivation) is authentic.

3.       Gold Making Charges:

Now the making charges of gold jewellery are a little tricky business. This amount is mainly a percentage of the current gold rate that is added as the labour cost to every jewellery piece. Depending on the hallmarked gold price of the day and the design intricacy, the price of every piece differs. The more intricate the craftsmanship, the more the difference. So before you make the final purchase, always make sure to check this bit!

4.       Gold Price:

With the nation’s gold price rate changing every day, there are quite a few factors that affect the overall price. The making charges and the gold purity of the jewellery majorly affect the overall price and should always be kept in mind before going towards checkout! For example, while the 916 gold rate is Rs.2849, the 18k gold price per gram today is Rs.2136, however, it was Rs.2133 yesterday! (To all those who missed – there’s still time before the price goes up!)

5.       Trust:

An important aspect of every gold purchase, trust is a must before you pick out your jewellery. From the brands’ credibility to the BIS hallmark and certification for your purchase, make sure you have all the documents that will help you in the future. Whether it is to exchange for a better piece or file a complaint, this is important. At Melorra, we make sure that you receive all the certifications with your jewellery along with the option of Cash on Delivery, a 30-days Return Policy and an Insured Delivery to make it easier for you to shop for gold online.

6.       Buyback Option:

The buyback option refers to the offer that the jeweller is providing if you wish to return or exchange a jewellery piece at a later stage. This gives you an option to update your gold jewellery collection with absolute ease and that too at a value-for-money rate! At Melorra, we provide a 30-days return policy as well as a lifetime exchange to make it a hassle-free experience for you.
