Ways to check gold purity in Bilaspur
Before buying gold, it is important to know how to check its purity so you get genuine value for your money. Here are some common techniques you can use:
- Hallmark verification: Always look for the BIS hallmark, which indicates certified purity like 24K, 22K, or 18K.
- Acid test: A jeweller can use nitric acid to test a small part of your gold, which reacts differently based on purity.
- Magnet test: Since gold is non-magnetic, you can check with a magnet; if it sticks, the item may contain other metals.

- Density test: Measuring weight and volume helps calculate gold’s density, which indicates its purity.
These methods help ensure you buy genuine, high-quality gold.
