• How to Verify Gold Purity: A Simple Guide
• Before you buy gold this Diwali, save yourself from getting into the trap of fake gold, or highly mixed gold by checking the purity of it. What happens is while the festival demands a lot of stock for gold, sellers start duping customers for money by selling them mixed or fake gold.
• Look for the BIS Hallmark on the gold item, which includes the BIS logo, purity karat (like 22K or 18K), year of marking, and jeweler’s ID.
• Check the karat marking engraved on the gold: 24K (99.9% pure), 22K (91.6% pure), 18K (75% pure), or 14K (58.5% pure).
• Always ask for a purity certificate from the seller, especially when buying coins or bars.
• Use a gold testing machine (karat meter or XRF machine) at trusted jewelers or authorized BIS centers for instant purity checks.
• Acid test can be done by experts but isn’t recommended for regular buyers.
• Buy gold from BIS-certified retailers to ensure genuine purity and quality.
