Do not buy jewelery without hallmark.
While buying gold, ensure that it is hallmarked. Now Hallmark is mandatory across the country. Jewelers are required to follow the BIS standards to sell gold jewellery. There is a rule in the country to sell only 14, 18 and 22 carat gold hallmarked jewellery. Look for the triangular hallmark of BIS on jewellery. Not only this, you can also check the 6 digit Hallmark Unique Identification Number. Apart from this, you should also know what are the numbers for how many carats. This way you will be able to buy the right gold.
Don’t forget to take the bill.
Receive an authentic bill of purchase along with hallmarked jewellery. The bill should contain details of each item, net weight of the precious metal, purity in carats and hallmarking charges. If you do this, you will be saved from being cheated and will not have to worry later.
