Silver jewelery Buying Tips: Below are some things to check when you buy silver jewellery. Let’s see what they are.
Even though everything has changed in today’s era, the number of silver users is increasing day by day. As the value of gold continues to rise, silver jewelery is an easy choice for the common man. Apart from that, even though anklets worn by women, menchi worn by women, shafts worn by children come in gold and other metals, silver is still preferred by everyone.
Apart from that, there is also a scriptural reason that it is better to buy anklets in silver. Buying these items during the festive season will be even more special. So below are some of the things to check when you buy silver jewelry. Let’s see what they are.
To calculate the value of silver jewelry:
The value of the silver weight, handling fee, hallmark fee and GST are all to be paid. It is important to make sure that the gold you buy is the right one. As per BIS norms, if you buy hallmarked jewelery from jewellers, you need to get a bill or receipt as proof.
A valid receipt is required
Some jewelers will charge a separate fee. Some shops add a commission fee to the silver gram price. So, double check once in a while that the correct receipt is given.
Trending Jewellery:
In today’s modern times it has become fashionable to buy silver jewelery studded with diamonds or precious stones. Make sure that the stone in your jewelery is priced separately. Remember that the stone should not be weighed with silver.
Rhodium plating:
This silver jewelry that we want to buy will turn black in a few days, not a few months after purchase. So, to avoid this, jewelers add a metal called rhodium. Ask and buy if you need that type of jewelry.
To care for silver jewelry:
If silver jewelry is kept in a wooden box or a jewelry box instead of in an iron bureau, it will shine.
Take a spoonful of computer chamomile burnt powder. If you add curd to this and rub it on your blackened silver jewelry and clean it, the silver jewelry will shine.
Similarly, take fabric powder. Along with this, a half spoonful of baking soda and rubbing will make the silver jewelery shine.
