Latest trend of Gold ornaments is 916 BIS Hallmarked. We will get the present market price of gold only if it's 916 Hallmarked and all jewelleries accept them, if ornaments have that 'mark'. Each time, new standards are coming to market. Yet are we sure enough that we are getting 91.6% pure gold? :huh: :huh:
Or are we just thinking, we will get the market price when we sell it .....so no need to bother about its purity. What's your opinion?

Actually, it's told, people are cheated by this way of hallmarking as people are not bothered about its purity. They are interested only in its return value. :evil: :evil: :evil:

This is simple Asthmatic
if 100=24 then
91.6 = ??? that would be almost 22.
24 karat gold is pure one by adding some copper they will make the ornaments other wise it will break.

Yes, copper is added to make it more strong.

A hallmark is an official mark or series of marks struck on items made of precious metals—platinum, gold, silver and in some nations, palladium. In a more general sense, the term hallmark can also be used to refer to any distinguishing characteristic or trait.

No way. Sit there and answer my question. It's your class work today :evil: :evil:
It's told people are cheated most in gold and jewellers are making high profit, as people are not thinking about its purity nowadays....they just look for standard marks on the piece of gold they buy.
Those jewellers under the association.....it's told, they won't buy gold of other jewellers from people in market rate. Only members of that group are giving 916 BIS....ie. There is a tag up between different jewellers about the purity and it's hidden only :evil: :evil:
@Gulshanji...
Hoping you will share your opinion here. Also, information regarding this subject.
It's really a serious discussion topic.
I don't think, you will read PM. That's why am telling in forum.

Actually, it is being done to ensure quality. Even here in our town, there is a jewellary shop which has a reputation of selling expensive but quality products. The jewellars make some sort of identification mark in every jewellaries sold by them. If a customer wants to sell off the gold jewellaries back to them after sometime, they accept it only if the identification mark is present.
