JEWELLERY BUYING TIPS |
When purchasing any item of jewellery, it is important to have an understanding of the different products available. It is very useful if you have some kind of knowledge of the different stones and metals and the measurement method (like Karat for gold, carat for diamond) beforehand as it will help assist when buying.
Below are written tips for the purchasing of gold and diamond.
Gold Jewellery
When buying gold jewellery, the first thing that one should look for is the ‘karat’ mark. This determines where the gold is in fact real and gives the percentage of pure gold it contains. It is known that pure gold, which is 24 ‘karat’, is of a rich colour. However, it is quite weak and is prone to being damaged.
Quite often, gold is combined with other precious metals such as silver . This is because it adds additional pillars of strength and further durability.
In terms of gold values:
• 24 Karat is 100% (pure gold)
• 22 Karat is 91.6%
• 18 Karat is 75%
• 14 Karat is 58.5%
• 10 Karat is 41.6%
The higher the karat the more expensive the product will be.
Other things also determine the price of gold jewellery like overall weight of the jewellery and design.The more manual handwork involved in the production of gold jewellery products, the more expensive they will be to purchase. Please also purchase jewellery from the reputed showroom or jewellery shops because generally in small shop, they doesn't give priority to quality to gain maximum profit.
Also you should look out for the Hallmark marked which has been now mandatory and it truely reflect the quality of the Gold Jewellery.
