What precautions should we take while purchasing gold jewelry?
Hallmarked Gold is the Way to Go
The BIS, through one of its assaying centres, certifies the claimed purity of gold and engraves the purity level (916, 958 etc.) along with the name of the retailer on the gold product to ensure that customers are not duped. Always look for hallmarked gold when going gold shopping.

Diamond cut
Diamond cut is the single most important of the 4Cs when it comes to the physical beauty of a diamond. Why? Because a diamond’s cut determines how much it sparkles. The number of facets, the angle of the facets, and the symmetry and alignment of the shape will affect how the diamond returns light.
