Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

There are some myths about selling gold that trip up even people who have sold before. Testing damages jewellery. Hallmarked gold does not need checking. Every buyer gives you the same price. These ideas sound reasonable until you look at how gold evaluation actually works \u2014 and then they fall apart quickly. This article goes through five of the most common ones and explains what actually happens at a professional doorstep evaluation.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Gold Testing Damages Jewellery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

This is one of the biggest misconceptions. Professional gold testing is usually done using safe methods<\/strong> that do not damage jewellery<\/strong> during normal evaluation procedures.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Hallmarked Jewellery Never Needs Testing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

22K (916 fineness or 91.6% pure) is the dominant gold standard in Indian jewellery. The 8.4% alloy content makes 22K durable.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

A BIS hallmark improves trust<\/strong>, but jewellery is still physically checked during evaluation to confirm purity and actual gold content before pricing.

Different buyers may use different deductions, purity calculations, and pricing methods. That\u2019s why the same jewellery can receive different valuations.<\/strong>

Old Jewellery Has Less Value<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

Gold does not lose value simply because the jewellery is old. <\/strong>The final value mainly depends on purity, net gold weight, and the live market rate.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Jewellery weight often includes stones, beads, or other materials that are not part of the gold value. That\u2019s why net gold weight is calculated separately during evaluation.
