Verifying the purity of gold jewellery requires authentication testing

Flipitmoney

In India, gold jewellery purchasing often involves verifying purity. Check for a BIS hallmark, which includes caratage, the BIS logo, and a unique HUID number, to ensure authenticity. The BIS Care app can verify the HUID in under a minute. Understanding karats, such as 24K or 22K, also helps avoid overpaying. Consider all charges, including making charges and GST.
