There are basically three things you should check before buying gold jewellery. These three things are most important when buying gold anywhere.
#1. Checking the Purity: Always check for purity. Make sure you are buying real gold and not some fake golden metal. The easiest way to check that is to look for hallmarking. A hallmarked piece of jewellery tells you the official proportion of the metal and gold jewellery is certified by an accreditation agency called the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Each piece at Melorra is BIS hallmarked.
#2. Checking the Price: Always cross-check the price of the gold jewellery you are buying. Gold rate is determined depending on the purity of gold. The price of gold changes every day based on the market rate. Some jewellery stores display the daily bullion rates for the customers while some hide it. Make sure to check the live gold rate first.
#3. Checking Making Charges: Negotiate on making charges if you can. Gold jewellery making involves labour cost and all jewellers pass on this cost to the buyers in the form of making charges. Making charges are usually a percentage of the current gold price. Hence, depending on the gold cost, the amount you pay as making charge can vary. But surprisingly, at Melorra, you can get up to 100% discount on making charges.
