2. Pay attention to the gold conditions you buy

If you buy is gold jewelry to wear, of course you can choose the preferred model and also note the state of gold jewelry, still good or there are defects.

When purchased gold jewelry that there is a permena, note the impression whether there is 'chipped', scratches and other, because of course if you sell it back, the gold shop will check it first and affect the selling price.

When purchased is a form of bracelets and necklaces, choose a bracelet or key necklace made machine, which is shaped 'S' or called 'toogle'. While the keys are handmade are usually shaped-stroke and sometimes become weak when it is often used (book cover) and have long-lived.

3. Look at the golden look

Buy a clean gold, because sometimes there is a green color on the pores of certain parts. It may be that the jewelry store says it's a regular thing, but it's not, gold has not been washed properly. In the gold is still left behind the chemical that can cause allergies in the skin of the wearer, causing itching, etc.

4. Ask the level of gold purity

The following is the level of gold purity according to international standards:

- 24 carat gold is pure gold (99.99%)

- 22 carat gold has a composition of 91.7% gold and mixed other materials 8.3%, usually silver material

- 20 carat gold has 83.3% gold compositions

- 18 karat gold has 75% gold composition

- 16 carat gold has a 66.6% gold composition

- 14 carat gold has a composition of 58.5% gold

And 9 carat gold has a composition of 37.5% gold

But since we live in Indonesia, the standard gold content in the gold shop in Indonesia is somewhat different. 24 carat gold is 90% gold, 23 carat gold is 70% gold, 22 carat gold is 40% gold and others.

4. Save the gold jewelry purchase note

A purchase note of gold is required when it is resold. This is because not all gold buyers, whether sold in stores or elsewhere, experts in determining the gold content. Because to check the gold content takes time and technology that is not necessarily available where you sell it. And if possible, sell gold back where you bought it, because it will certainly be easier and there are not many questions about gold
