How to Identify Real Gold | Episode 1 – Gold Gyaan - Vishal Jewellers

 

Welcome to Episode 1 of our Gold Gyaan Series!
In today’s first episode, our mentor Ansh Talla explains how you can easily identify real and authentic gold before purchasing.

Whether you are a first-time buyer or a regular gold lover, these simple checks will help you shop with confidence, clarity, and complete trust.

1. BIS Hallmark – The Most Reliable Proof of Real Gold

The first and most important step in identifying real gold is checking the BIS Hallmark.

Every genuine gold jewellery item includes a 6-digit alphanumeric BIS code, which serves as your trust seal.

What You Should Check:

  • BIS logo

  • Purity mark (22K / 18K / 14K)

  • Assaying centre’s stamp

  • Jeweller’s identification number

2. Understanding Karat – How Pure Is Your Gold?

Gold purity is measured in karat (K). Many buyers get confused, so Ansh Talla explains it clearly:

  • 24K = 99.9% pure gold (too soft for jewellery)

  • 22K = 91.6% pure gold (ideal for most jewellery)

  • 18K = 75% pure gold (best for diamond & modern designs)

This helps you understand why jewellery is usually made in 22K or 18K instead of 24K.

3. Professional Testing – How Jewellers Check Purity

To avoid confusion, professional jewellers use advanced machines to confirm gold purity.

At Vishal Jewellers, every gold piece is:

  • Scientifically tested

  • Verified through XRF purity testing machine

  • Displayed only after purity confirmation

  • Shown transparently to customers

This ensures complete trust and honesty during the purchase.
