Reasons for buying gold
People have different reasons for buying gold. People buy gold for gifts and some buy it for jewelry. Many go to buy gold to maintain the value of money and invest. In all these cases and purposes, you should pay full attention to the tips of buying gold. Note that some points play a significant role in your goal of buying gold. So you should first determine your goal in buying gold and then follow the points related to buying gold.
Gold recognition
The first thing to consider is to know what the gold carat is and what effect it has on the price of our gold and jewelry. For a better understanding, let's get acquainted with pure gold. Pure gold is gold without any metal added to it. Pure gold is very soft and cannot be used to make gold artefacts. To use pure gold in jewelry, copper and silver metals are added to it to make it stronger and more malleable. Pure gold is called 24 karat gold. While in Iran's gold industry, mostly 18 karat gold is used.
Attention to numbers carved on gold
Now that you are familiar with the concept of gold carat. We go to the second point of buying gold. Most of the jewelry and gold pieces are engraved with signs that indicate the gold grade. These signs are engraved in a part of the gold that is not in front of the eyes. So, because in Iran, gold artefacts are 18 carat, you should look for the letter 18k on the gold piece. The letter K, in fact, represents the first indicator of the letter Karat, which means carat. Paying attention to the letters engraved on the gold piece is one of the necessities before buying gold.
Pay attention to the weight of the gold
One of the other tips for buying gold is that you should pay attention to the weight of gold. Because the weight of gold is directly related to the price of gold. So be sure to keep this point in mind so you don't incur high costs. Of course, it is suggested to use thicker and heavier gold for everyday use so that the gold has more resistance.
Attention to the color of the gold
Choose the color of your gold before buying gold. Gold in the Iranian market has different colors such as yellow, white and rose gold. There is also blue, brown and green gold. The most common and abundant gold available in Iran is 18 karat yellow gold.
Rush forbidden
It is forbidden to rush in buying gold. Try to visit several jewelry galleries before buying and get information about the prices and available models to choose the model you want. Gold shops are the most common way to buy gold. But today, with the advancement of technology, there are online shops and websites where you can view different models of gold online and buy the desired model. The Internet platform is a very suitable space to see the variety of gold products in the shortest possible time.
How to sell gold
When buying gold, be sure to get the gold purchase invoice from the gold seller. If your jewelry has precious stones, get the birth certificate of the stone. Before buying gold, it is better to ask the gold seller about how to sell it and to know the amount of profit and loss during the sale.
نیاز و هدف خود را از خرید طلا مشخص کنید
Before buying gold, pay attention to your purpose and needs. After determining the need and purpose of buying gold, if you don't have an idea of the desired jewel in your mind, you can go to online sites or stores in person and see the specifications of gold, such as size, weight, style, model, design, and color. Avoid and buy according to your logic and needs.
Buy from a valid goldsmith
If you intend to buy gold in person, be sure to go to reputable gold shops. Paying attention to the gold shop's license before buying gold gives you the opportunity to follow up if there is a problem. If you intend to buy gold (or even coins such as Persian coins) online, try to buy from reputable stores that have the e-commerce symbol (Inmad) and, in the next degree, have a virtual business license.
Visit the local store before shopping online
Jewelry guarantee
Always the purchased product does not meet your standard and does not get your full satisfaction. It is better to get information about the ways to return the goods before buying. Because in many cases returning the goods becomes complicated and expensive for you, which is not pleasant at all. When shopping online, be sure to consider that the online store has the option to return the product.
Take the Gold Purchase Tips Seriously
Buying and selling jewelry has many complications. But paying attention to the aforementioned gold buying tips can reduce the volume of these complications and give you a satisfying purchase. Haste and emotional buying is one of the biggest mistakes in buying gold. Because maybe your need at that time is to buy coins or Persian coins for example. So, try not to get excited at first and be sure to get an official invoice from the seller when buying, to avoid problems in the future.
