Why Gold Is Important ?

Gold is deeply ingrained in Indian culture, symbolising wealth and prosperity. Its prices in India are influenced by international rates, exchange rates, and domestic demand. Recently, gold prices have been volatile, with a significant rise during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.
The cultural and sentimental value of gold drives consistent demand, especially during weddings and festivals like Diwali and Dhanteras. In the recent Union Budget, the Indian government reduced customs duty on gold imports. This decision is expected to boost legal imports, benefit the jewellery industry, and potentially increase tax revenues.
Gold's enduring demand in India, combined with strategic government measures, ensures its continued significance in the economy.

How to Check Gold Purity?

There are several ways to check the purity of gold.
1. Hallmark Certification: The most reliable way to check the purity of gold is to look for hallmark certification. In many countries, this is a standard practice. In India, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certifies the purity of gold jewellery. Hallmarked gold comes with a BIS logo, purity grade, and the jeweller's identification mark.
2. Karat System: Gold purity is often measured in karats (K). Pure gold is 24 karats (24K). The higher the karat number, the purer the gold. Common purities include 24K, 22K (91.6% pure), and 18K (75% pure).

3. Electronic Gold Tester: Jewellers use electronic gold testers that can provide quick and accurate results. These devices measure the electrical conductivity of the gold to determine its purity.

4. Density Test: Jewellers also measure the volume and weight of the piece of gold, calculate its density to check for authenticity. Gold has a high density (19.32 g/cm³).
