There are many things people need to keep in mind while buying gold items from bullion market. For example, people often fall prey to misunderstandings about the purity of gold and in many cases the jewelers themselves fool people. While buying gold, buying hallmarked jewelery can help you avoid getting cheated.

Hallmark jewelery benefits

• There is less chance of getting fake gold by buying hallmarked jewellery.
• Jewelers do not deduct depreciation cost on selling hallmarked jewellery.
• Whenever you go to sell your jewelry, having hallmarked it will give you a fair price.

Be careful while buying

• Under the hallmarking done from the BIS registered center, 5 types of marks are printed on each piece of jewelry.
• First the logo of BIS, second the fitness number ie carat sign, third the marking center logo, fourth the year code and fifth the logo or trade mark of the jeweler who sold it.
• Those who do half-completed hallmarking without BIS registration keep only 3 or 4 instead of 5 stamps.
