Diwali 2024: Are you planning to buy gold on Diwali? Keep these things in mind..
Diwali is a festival of lights. Buying gold in this five-day festival is considered auspicious. It is an Indian belief that buying gold on this day keeps the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. Dhanteras, two days before Diwali, is considered auspicious to buy gold. Let us tell you that this year Dhanteras (Dhanteras 2024) will be celebrated on 29 October 2024. If you are also thinking of buying gold this Diwali, then you should take special care of some things while buying gold.
Pure gold
The pureness of gold is measured in carats. Although 24-carat gold is considered the purest, gold jewelry is not made from it. Generally, there is an option of 22 and 18 carats for making gold jewelry. While buying gold, you should keep in mind how many carats of gold you are buying. Let us tell you that the price of gold depends on its carat.
Hallmark
Always buy hallmarked gold. Hallmark ensures that the gold you are buying is pure. If you buy gold without a hallmark, then the goldsmith may be selling you fake gold in the name of real gold.
Price of gold
Gold prices have seen a rise in the last few times. In such a situation, before buying gold, you should know what is the price of gold. If you do not know the price of gold, then the goldsmith may sell you gold at a higher price. Apart from this, the price that the jeweler is telling you, be sure to compare it with other jewelers in the market.
Making charge
Many times goldsmiths also charge more money in the name of making a charge. However, it completely depends on the jeweler how much charge he is taking. In such a situation, you should discuss the making charge before buying gold and if needed, bargain to reduce the price.
Make sure to take the bill.
After buying any gold, be sure to take a proper bill from the jeweler. If any goldsmith is giving a raw bill, then do not take it at all. Always take a proper bill so that there is no problem in selling the gold or getting it tested in the future.
Online Payment
In today's time, making online payments has become very easy. In such a situation, you should also make online payments for buying gold so that you also have a record of the transaction.
