Before you buy
- 1Check today's rate on this page before you go, so you know the gold value of any piece you are quoted.
- 2Ask the shop to weigh the piece in front of you and to itemise the invoice: gold value, making charge, and 5% VAT on the making charge only.
- 3Look for the purity stamp: 750 for 18K, 875 for 21K, 916 for 22K, 999 for 24K.
- 4Walk the whole jewellery floor at the Gold Centre before buying: prices for similar designs vary between shops.
- 5Ask about buyback terms if you may sell or exchange the piece later.
