Gold Buying Tips
Top Questions to Ask Before Selling Your Gold Jewellery
Know what to check — purity testing method, ID requirements, and payment mode — before you sell.
Before you sell gold jewellery anywhere, it helps to ask a few direct questions so you know exactly what to expect.
1. How is purity tested?
Ask whether the buyer uses XRF/Karatmeter testing (non-destructive) or an acid test (which can mark or damage your jewellery).
2. What ID proof is required?
Most reputable buyers require a valid photo ID such as Aadhaar, Voter ID, or Passport, and PAN for larger transactions.
3. How and when will I be paid?
Confirm the payment mode — cash, NEFT, or RTGS — and that payment is instant, not delayed.
