Things To Consider Before Buying Jewellery

In today's world, jewellery is very expensive and not many can afford it. It can also be damaged easily. You don’t want to spend your money on something so costly if it isn’t even authentic and durable. Jewelers such as Hazoorilal jewellers and OTM are known for their authentic jewelry pieces and are among the best Jewellers in Delhi. Their designers work extremely hard to provide you with graceful and exquisite pieces, crafted with creativity and perfection. These brands have earned admiration for creating masterpieces of rare beauty and timeless elegance.

Here is a list of few things to keep in mind before you go and purchase these precious items. 

DIAMONDS-

Take your time to get educated about diamonds so that you know where the best value is. Remember to ask questions about the grading guarantees offered. Never view a diamond under a black background, only under magnification and make sure you understand what you are viewing. Compare the cut, color, clarity and carat weight with other shops before purchasing. Read all warranties and ask for the certificate of replacement to accompany your receipt. 

GOLD- 

Jewellery made of higher karat gold is more yellow and softer than the lower karat gold such as zinc, copper etc. Read about the alloys used and make sure you aren’t allergic to any. Make sure that the item is clearly marked with karat weight and manufacturer. Jewelers in Delhi make sure that their item has the designer’s names stamped on it which increases its value, so make sure you are aware of this. 

PLATINUM- 

Because of the small percentage of other metals alloyed with it, platinum is hypoallergenic and excellent for people who are allergic to other metals. Be prepared to spend more initially because of the expert craftsmanship required to work in platinum. Make sure that the sales receipt has ‘Platinum’ written on it and the item is stamped with its metal content and manufacturer. 

SILVER- 

Do not confuse nickel silver or German silver with sterling silver as those metals itself do not contain any silver. Thus, make sure the words ‘sterling silver’ is written on the receipt. The item should also be clearly marked ‘925’. If silver is exposed to the elements, it gets covered with a black coating called Tarnish which can be cleaned using a variety of products. 

PEARLS- 

Real Pearls are made by oysters and other mollusks. Since there are very few natural pearls in the market, most of them are just cultured or imitations. Pearls are evaluated according to their size, shape, color, blemishes, and luster. Another important consideration when buying pearls is the ‘nacre’ or skin. Strands of pearls that match in size, color, and shape are more expensive than those of pearls that do not match. Make sure you examine the quality of the pearls so that you can make an intelligent decision.
