What is jewellery?

The word "jewels" derives from the word "toy". A jeweller creates, sells, and repairs jewellery. A goldsmith is someone who makes gold jewellery, and this occupation is seen prominently in Asian countries. The most basic sort of jewellery differs widely between cultures.

A wide variety of materials can make jewellery, including gold and silver. Shells, bones, pebbles, tusks, claws, and wood have all been regarded rare and beautiful, as have precious metals, precious and semiprecious stones, pearls, corals, enamels, vitreous pastes, and ceramics. They were produced manually or automatically. Handmade jewellery is more expensive than machine-made jewellery. 

Throughout history, jewellery has been worn as a show of social standing and a talisman to ward off evil and bring good fortune. A ruby ring, for example, was supposed to impart virtue, defend against seduction, and prevent effervescence in water—but only if worn on the left hand.

What is gold jewellery?

Beautiful and versatile, gold is the standard for most jewellery. It's also the softest metal, making it unsuitable for pure jewellery. The karat is the gold standard. 24-carat gold is pure gold, meaning 24 parts gold. Gold is alloyed with other metals to make it stronger. It's made up of a lot of gold and a few other alloys. 10K gold is more substantial, with ten gold to fourteen other alloys.

Copper and silver are alloys with yellow gold. Green gold is made by mixing gold with copper, silver, and zinc. White gold is made by mixing pure gold with copper, zinc, nickel, or palladium.

Yellow has long been connected with gold. White gold enhances the brilliance of diamonds. A glossy metal that enhances the brightness and strength of gold is used to coat white gold jewellery. Contrary to popular belief, white gold is not interchangeable with platinum. The whiteness of white gold and platinum varies.

Some jewellery items combine white and yellow gold for a lovely two-tone effect. Yellow, white, and rose gold are also available.

Gold has long been seen as a safe haven and household investment. Experts advise investors to diversify their risk by investing in gold rather than solely gold. Partly, this is because gold doesn't always pay off. The coronavirus outbreak forced investors to put their money in havens other than volatile corporate stocks, but this isn't the typical annual return gold gives. Gold prices only doubled in value during the last decade. Physical gold and digital gold are two of the most common ways to invest in gold.

Understand the colour variation you will opt for

We all are aware of the fact that, gold jewellery has a wide range when it comes to colors. Rose gold, white gold and there are a few more that can add to the charm of an ornament. Aside from personal preference, keep in mind these suggestions. In contrast, an antique or bronze finish can transform a lehenga or suit. White gold accessories with go well with the western attires. If you choose studded jewellery, it’s better to pick those that could be paired with multiple attires.

How pure your gold is?

It is well known that the purest gold is 24 karat gold. Gold is exceedingly malleable at its maximum pure level. That is why it is mixed to make alloys, often a mixture of copper and silver . The above mentioned alloy can make your gold jewellery durable. When gold goes through this alloying process, it becomes 22 kt or lesser. It typically leads to a shift in pricing and also in the resale value of gold jewellery. To ensure you obtain your money's actual worth, only purchase gold jewellery certified BIS 916hallmark. This certification verifies the purity level of your jewellery, giving you the total genuine price should you ever wish to sell or exchange it. (Ornament or jewellery made of 916 gold is BIS hallmarked. That's 91.6 g of pure gold per 100 g of gold. It certifies jewellers who make BIS 916 gold jewellery)

Price of the gold

Everyone with the experience in buying gold jewellery knows that the prices of gold and the price of gold jewellery are not the same. In general, the actual cost of a piece of jewellery is substantially more than the gold rate. Ask for a breakdown of the final price without immediately accepting the initial quote given. Take a look and compare pricing between the jewellery shops. The same necklace or bangles may not be found in two different showrooms. But you will find ones at least closer to those in karat or weight. These may give you a better idea about the pricing differences. 

It is challenging to forecast gold price declines. While prices are generally standard, there may be occasional deviations. Before buying gold, check local rates. Gold's price fluctuates daily, dependent on market rates. Starlight Jewellery accurates our items to provide accurate rates to customers. To understand how the cost is calculated, feel free to contact us!

Mark of identification

The Hallmark or KDM seal on pure gold jewellery certifies its purity. This is a very significant embossing on the inside of most ornaments that makes sure of purity. Solicit this mark from the retailer. We will never sell any jewellery without this mark. Instead of a purity mark, some vendors may provide you with a purity certificate. But keep in mind that, the certificate is worthless without the purity mark. Only precious stones can use this designation. Only a purity certificate with a rating is given for valuable stones.

Get and keep your invoice.

An invoice is required for many reasons. To calculate capital gains tax, our customers will need to know the purchase price of gold. The invoice is also helpful in case of a future dispute. 

Check the weight of your gold before purchasing.
